1Brothers and sisters <80>, if <1437> a person <444> is discovered <4301> in <1722> some <5100> sin <3900>, you <5210> who are spiritual <4152> restore <2675> such a person <5108> in <1722> a spirit <4151> of gentleness <4240>. Pay close attention <4648> to yourselves <4572>, so that you <4771> are <3985> not <3361> tempted <3985> too <2532>.
2Carry <941> one another’s <240> burdens <922>, and <2532> in this way <3779> you will fulfill <378> the law <3551> of Christ <5547>.
3For <1063> if <1487> anyone <5100> thinks <1380> he is <1510> something <5100> when he is <1510> nothing <3367>, he deceives <5422> himself <1438>.
4Let <1381> each one <1538> examine <1381> his own <1438> work <2041>. Then <5119> he can take <2192> pride <2745> in <1519> himself <1438> and <2532> not <3756> compare himself with <1519> someone else <2087>.
5For <1063> each one <1538> will carry <941> his own <2398> load <5413>.
6Now <1161> the one who receives <2841> instruction <2727> in the word <3056> must share all <3956> good <18> things with the one who teaches <2727> it.
7Do <4105> not <3361> be deceived <4105>. God <2316> will not <3756> be made a fool <3456>. For <1063> a person <444> will reap <2325> what he sows <4687>,
8because <3754> the person who sows <4687> to <1519> his own <1438> flesh <4561> will reap <2325> corruption <5356> from <1537> the flesh <4561>, but <1161> the one who sows <4687> to <1519> the Spirit <4151> will reap <2325> eternal <166> life <2222> from <1537> the Spirit <4151>.
9So <1161> we must <1573> not <3361> grow weary <1573> in doing <4160> good <2570>, for <1063> in due time <2540> we will reap <2325>, if we do <1590> not <3361> give up <1590>.
10So then <686> <3767>, whenever we have <2192> an opportunity <2540>, let us do <2038> good <18> to <4314> all <3956> people, and especially <3122> to those who belong to <4314> the family <3609> of faith <4102>.
11See <1492> what big <4080> letters <1121> I make as I write <1125> to you <5213> with my own <1699> hand <5495>!
12Those who want <2309> to make a good showing <2146> in <1722> external matters <4561> are trying to force <315> you <5209> to be circumcised <4059>. They do so <2443> only <3440> to avoid <3361> being persecuted <1377> for the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>.
13For <1063> those who are circumcised <4059> do <5442> not <3761> obey <5442> the law <3551> themselves <846>, but <235> they want <2309> you <5209> to be circumcised <4059> so that <2443> they can boast <2744> about <1722> your <5212> flesh <4561>.
14But <1161> may I <1698> never <3361> boast <1096> <2744> except <1487> <3361> in <1722> the cross <4716> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, through <1223> which <3739> the world <2889> has been crucified <4717> to me <1698>, and I <2504> to the world <2889>.
15For <1063> neither <3777> circumcision <4061> nor <3777> uncircumcision <203> counts for anything; the only thing that matters is <1510> a new <2537> creation <2937>!
16And <2532> all <3745> who will behave in accordance <4748> with this <5129> rule <2583>, peace <1515> and <2532> mercy <1656> be on <1909> them <846>, and <2532> on <1909> the Israel <2474> of God <2316>.
17From now on <3064> let <3930> no one <3367> cause <3930> me <3427> trouble <3930>, for <1063> I bear <941> the marks <4742> of Jesus <2424> on <1722> my <3450> body <4983>.
18The grace <5485> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> be with <3326> your <5216> spirit <4151>, brothers and sisters <80>. Amen <281>.
