Galatians 6

1 He exhorteth them to use gentleness toward the weak, 2 And to shew their brotherly love and modesty: 6 Also to provide for their ministers, 9 To persevere, 14 To rejoice in the cross of Christ, 15 To newness of life, 16 And last of all wisheth to them with the rest of the faithful all prosperity.
1.Brethren, if a man be afallen by occasion into any faute, ye which are spiritual, restore such one with the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2.Bear ye one another’s burden, and so bfulfil the Law of Christ.
3.For if any man seem to himself, that he is somewhat, when he is cnothing, he deceiveth himself in his imagination.
4.But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have drejoicing in himself only and not in another.
5.*For every man shall bear his own burden.
6.Let him that is taught in the word, make him that hath taught him, partaker of all his e*goods.
7.Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8.For he that fsoweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.
9.*Let us not therefore be weary of well doing: for in due season we shall greap, if we faint not.
10.While we have therefore time, let us do good unto all men, but specially unto them, which are of the household of faith.
11.¶ Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12.As many as desire to make a fair shew hin the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only because they would not suffer persecution for the icross of Christ.
13.For they themselves which are circumcised, keep not the Law, but desire to have you circumcised, that they might rejoice kin your flesh.
14.But God forbid that I should rejoice, but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the lworld is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15.For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new mcreature.
16.And as many as walk according to this rule, peace shall be upon them, and mercy, and nupon the Israel of God.
17.From hence forth let no man oput me to business: for I bear in my body the pmarks of the Lord Jesus.
18.Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen.
