- Chapter 6 -

Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Bear ye one another’s burdens; and so you shall fulfill the law of Christ.

For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.

For every one shall bear his own burden.

And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.

Be not deceived, God is not mocked.

For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.

And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.

Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

Final Warnings and Blessings

See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.

For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.

For neither they themselves who are circumcised, keep the law; but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me; for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

For each man will bear his own burden.

But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

Final Warnings and Blessings

See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
