- Chapter 6 -

Brethren, if a man be suddenly taken in any offence, ye which are spirituall, restore such one with the spirit of meekenes, considering thy selfe, least thou also be tempted.

Beare ye one anothers burden, and so fulfill the Lawe of Christ.

For if any man seeme to himselfe, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe in his imagination.

But let euery man prooue his owne worke: and then shall he haue reioycing in himselfe onely and not in another.

For euery man shall beare his owne burden.

Let him that is taught in the worde, make him that hath taught him, partaker of all his goods.

Be not deceiued: God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall hee also reape.

For hee that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reape corruption: but hee that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting.

Let vs not therefore be weary of well doing: for in due season we shall reape, if we faint not.

While we haue therefore time, let vs doe good vnto all men, but specially vnto them, which are of the housholde of faith.

Final Warnings and Blessings

Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand.

As many as desire to make a faire shewe in the flesh, they constraine you to be circumcised, onely because they would not suffer persecution for the crosse of Christ.

For they themselues which are circumcised keepe not the law, but desire to haue you circumcised, that they might reioyce in your flesh.

But God forbid that I should reioyce, but in ye crosse of our Lord Iesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified vnto me, and I vnto ye world.

For in Christ Iesus neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but a newe creature.

And as many as walke according to this rule, peace shalbe vpon them, and mercie, and vpon the Israel of God.

From henceforth let no man put me to busines: for I beare in my body the markes of the Lord Iesus.

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. Vnto the Galatians written from Rome.

Brothers, 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.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

For each man will bear his own burden.

But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For 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.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.

So 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.

Final Warnings and Blessings

See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

As 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 Christ.

For 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.

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
