The text, King James Version
- 1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
- 2Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
- 3For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
- 4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
- 5For every man shall bear his own burden.
- 6Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
- 7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
- 8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
- 9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
- 10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
- 11Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
- 12As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
- 13For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
- 14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
- 15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
- 16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
- 17From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
- 18Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
