6:1  Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; {each one} looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

6:2  Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

6:3  For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

6:4  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.

6:5  For each one will bear his own load.

6:6  The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches {him.}

6:7  Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

6:8  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.

6:9  Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

6:10  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.

6:11  See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

6:12  Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

6:13  For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

6:14  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.

6:15  For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

6:16  And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy {be} upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

6:17  From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.

6:18  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
