Bear One Another's Burdens

6 Brothers,^{[a] (A)}if anyone is caught in any transgression, ^(B)you who are spiritual should restore him in ^(C)a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. ^2 (D)Bear one another's burdens, and ^(E)so fulfill ^(F)the law of Christ. ³ For ^(G)if anyone thinks he is something, ^(H)when he is nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴ But let each one ^(I)test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. ⁵ For ^(J)each will have to bear his own load.

^6 (K)Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.

^7 (A)Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for ^(B)whatever one sows, that will he also reap. ⁸ For ^(C)the one who sows to his own flesh ^(D)will from the flesh reap corruption, but ^(E)the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. ⁹ And ^(F)let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, ^(G)if we do not give up. ¹⁰ So then, ^(H)as we have opportunity, let us ^(I)do good to everyone, and especially to those who are ^(J)of the household of faith.

Final Warning and Benediction

¹¹ See with what large letters I am writing to you ^(K)with my own hand. ^12 (L)It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh ^(M)who would force you to be circumcised, and only ^(N)in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ But far be it from me to boast ^(O)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which^[a] the world ^(P)has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For ^(Q)neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but ^(R)a new creation. ¹⁶ And as for all who walk by this rule, ^(S)peace and mercy be upon them, and upon ^(T)the Israel of God.
