Brothers, if also a person might be caught in a certain transgression, let you the spiritual (pl.) restore that one in a spirit of gentleness, watching yourself lest also you might be tested. 2 Bear the burdens of one another and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself. 4 Let each test his own work, and then he has the boast in himself alone and not in the other; 5 for each will bear his own load.
6 Let the one being instructed in the word share in all good things with the one instructing. 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, this also he will reap; 8 because the one sowing to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, the one sowing to the spirit will reap life of the age from the spirit. 9 Doing the good let us not become discouraged, for at the proper time we shall reap, not having given up.
11 See with how great letters I write with my own hand. 12 Those who wish to appear-well in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only in order that they not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even those being circumcised themselves observe the Law but they wish you to be circumcised in order that they might boast in your flesh. 14 But let it not be for me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which/whom the world was crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision is anything nor uncircumcision but new creation. 16 And whoever will keep in line with this rule, peace upon them and mercy and upon the Israel of God.
17 Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (be) with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
