| Chapter 6 1
Brethren, if a man should be precipitated, also, in some offense, you, who are spiritual,
be attuning such a one, in a spirit of meekness, noting yourself, that you, also, may not
be tried.
2 Bear one another's burdens, and thus fill up the law of
Christ.
3 For if anyone is supposing himself to be anything,
being nothing, he is imposing on himself.
4 Now let each one be testing his own work, and then he
shall be having his boast for himself alone, and not for another,
5 for each one shall be bearing his own load.
6 Now let him who is being instructed in the word be
contributing to him who is instructing, in all good things.
7 Be not decived, God is not to be sneered at, for
whatsoever a man may be sowing, this shall he be reaping also,
8 for he who is sowing for his own flesh, from the flesh
shall be reaping corruption, yet he who is sowing for the spirit, from the spirit shall be
reaping life eonian.
9 Now we may not be despondent in ideal doing, for in due
season we shall be reaping, if we do not faint.
10 Consequently, then, as we have occasion, we are
working for the good of all, yet specially for the family of faith.
11 Lo! with what size letters I write to you with my own
hand!
12 Whoever are wanting to put on a fair face in the
flesh, these are compelling you to circumcise only that they may not be persecuted for the
cross of Christ Jesus.
13 For not even they who are circumcising are maintaining
law, but they want you to be circumcised that they should be boasting in that flesh of
yours.
14 Now may it not be mine to be boasting, except in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor
uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation.
16 And whoever shall observe the elements by this rule,
peace be on them, and mercy, also on the Israel of God.
17 For the rest, let no one afford me weariness, for I am
bearing in my body the brand marks of the Lord Jesus Christ.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit, brethren! Amen! |
