1 Brothers,o[Ps. 141:5; 2 Cor. 2:7; Heb. 12:13; James 5:19] if anyone is caught in any transgression,p[Rom. 15:1; 1 Cor. 10:15]; See 1 Cor. 2:15 you who are spiritual should restore him inq1 Cor. 4:21; [2 Tim. 2:25] a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 rRom. 15:1; 1 Thess. 5:14 Bear one another's burdens, ands[ch. 5:14] so fulfillt1 John 4:21; See John 13:34 the law of Christ. 3 Foru[ch. 2:6]; See 1 Cor. 3:7, 18 if anyone thinks he is something,v2 Cor. 12:11 when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each onew[1 Cor. 11:28; 2 Cor. 13:5] test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 Forx[Rom. 14:12] each will have to bear his own load.
6 y[Rom. 15:27; 1 Cor. 9:11] One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 z1 Cor. 6:9; 15:33; James 1:16 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, foraSee 2 Cor. 9:6 whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 Forb[Hos. 8:7]; See Job 4:8 the one who sows to his own fleshcSee Rom. 6:21 will from the flesh reap corruption, butdSee James 3:18 the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 Ande2 Thess. 3:13; [1 Cor. 15:58] let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap,fHeb. 12:3, 5; [Heb. 10:36]; See Matt. 10:22 if we do not give up. 10 So then,gProv. 3:27; John 9:4; 12:35 as we have opportunity, let ushEph. 4:28; 1 Tim. 6:18; [1 Thess. 5:15] do good to everyone, and especially to those who arei[Eph. 2:19; 1 Tim. 5:8; Heb. 3:6] of the household of faith.
11 See with what large letters I am writing to youjSee 1 Cor. 16:21 with my own hand. 12 kSee 2 Cor. 11:13 It is those who want to make a good showing in the fleshlch. 2:3 who would force you to be circumcised, and onlymch. 5:11 in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to boastn1 Cor. 2:2; [Phil. 3:3, 7, 8] except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which1Or through whom the worldoSee Rom. 6:6 has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Forp[Rom. 2:28]; See ch. 5:6 neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, butq[John 3:5, 7]; See Rom. 6:4 a new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule,rPs. 125:5; 128:6 peace and mercy be upon them, and uponsch. 3:7, 9, 29; Rom. 2:29; 4:12; 9:6-8; Phil. 3:3 the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
