|
| 1 |
If a man should do something wrong, my brothers, on a sudden impulse, you who are endowed with the Spirit must set him right again very gently. Look to yourself, each one of you: you may be tempted too. | Bear One Another's Burdens Ga.6.1-10 |
| 2 |
Help one another to carry these heavy loads, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.
| |
| 3 |
For if a man imagines himself to be somebody, when he is nothing, he is deluding himself. | |
| 4 |
Each man should examine his own conduct for himself; then he can measure his achievement by comparing himself with himself and not with anyone else. | |
| 5 |
For everyone has his own proper burden to bear. | |
| 6 |
When anyone is under instruction in the faith, he should give his teacher a share of all good things he has.
| |
| 7 |
Make no mistake about this: God is not to be fooled; a man reaps what he sows. | |
| 8 |
If he sows seed in the field of his lower nature, he will reap from it a harvest of corruption, but if he sows in the field of the Spirit, the Spirit will bring him a harvest of eternal life. | |
| 9 |
So let us never tire of doing good, for if we do not slacken our efforts we shall in due time reap our harvest. | |
| 10 |
Therefore, as opportunity offers, let us work for the good of all, especially members of the household of the faith.
| |
| 11 |
YOU SEE these big letters? I am now writing to you in my own hand. | Final Warning and Benediction Ga.6.11-18 |
| 12 |
It is all those who want to make a fair outward and bodily show who are trying to force circumcision upon you; their sole object is to escape persecution for the cross of Christ. | |
| 13 |
For even those who do receive circumcision are not thoroughgoing observers of the law: they only want you to be circumcised in order to boast of your having submitted to that outward rite. | |
| 14 |
But God forbid that I should boast of anything but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world is crucified to me and I to the world! | |
| 15 |
Circumcision is nothing; uncircumcision is is nothing; the only thing that counts is new creation! | |
| 16 |
Whoever they are who take this principle for their guide, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the whole Israel of God! | |
| 17 |
In future let no one make trouble for me, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body. | |
| 18 |
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, my brothers. Amen. | |
