Bear One Another’s Burdens
Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.
Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.
For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.
But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.
Don’t be misled — you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone — especially to those in the family of faith.
So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
Paul’s Final Advice
Notice what large letters I use as I write these closing words in my own handwriting.
See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don’t want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save.
Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
And even those who advocate circumcision don’t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.
For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
From now on, don’t let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.
From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.
