Galatians 6

Carry One Another’s Burdens
1Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle # Jms 3:13 spirit, # Ps 51:12 watching out for yourselves so you also won’t be tempted. # Jms 1:13 2Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. # 1Co 9:21 3For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing, # 1Co 3:18; 2Co 12:11; Gl 2:6 he deceives himself. 4But each person should examine his own work, # Mk 14:6; Gl 3:10; Jms 2:14-26 and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in respect to someone else. 5For each person will have to carry his own load.
6The one who is taught the message must share # Rm 15:27; 1Pt 5:2 all his good things with the teacher. 7Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap, 8because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit # Ps 51:11; Jn 1:33; Ac 2:4; Rm 8:9; Gl 5:25; Ti 3:5; Rv 3:22 will reap eternal life # Jn 12:25; Ac 13:48 from the Spirit. 9So we must not get tired # 2Th 3:13 of doing good, # Lk 18:18; Jms 4:17 for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work # 2Jn 8 for the good # Gn 1:31; 3Jn 11 of all, especially for those who belong to the household # 1Tm 5:8 of faith. # Jd 3
Concluding Exhortation
11Look at what large letters I use as I write to you in my own handwriting. 12Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh # Php 3:3 are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised # Ac 15:1 — but only to avoid being persecuted # 2Tm 3:12 for the cross # Php 3:18 of Christ. 13For even the circumcised don’t keep # Lk 11:28 the law themselves; however, they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh. 14But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world. 15For # Other mss add in Christ Jesus both circumcision and uncircumcision # Col 3:11 mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation. # Jn 1:3; Rv 3:14 16May peace come to all those who follow this standard, and mercy to the Israel # Lk 3:8 of God!
17From now on, let no one cause me trouble, because I bear on my body scars for the cause of Jesus. # Php 3:10 18Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. # Ps 51:12 Amen.

Galatians 6
6
1Brothers, 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. 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the Torah of Messiah. 3For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else. 5For each man will bear his own burden.
6 But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.
7Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8For 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. 9Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up. 10So 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.
11 See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand. 12As 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 Messiah. 13For 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. 14But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15For in Messiah Yeshua neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Yeshua branded on my body.
18 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
