## Bear One Another's Burdens 

###### 1
Brothers, even if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, _each of you_ looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. 

###### 2
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 

###### 3
For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 

###### 4
But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have _reason for_ boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. 

###### 5
For each one will bear his own load. 

###### 6
And the one who is instructed in the word is to share in all good things with the one who instructs _him_. 

###### 7
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 

###### 8
For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 

###### 9
And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 

###### 10
So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. 

###### 11
See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand! 

###### 12
As many as are wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, these are trying to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 

###### 13
For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh. 

###### 14
But may it never be that I would boast, 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 neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 

###### 16
And those who will walk in step with this rule, peace and mercy _be_ upon them, and upon the Israel of God. 

###### 17
From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 

###### 18
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
