Bear One Another’s Burdens6
1aGal 6:18; 1 Thess 4:1 Brethren, even if [E]Gr anthropos anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are b1 Cor 2:15 spiritual, c2 Cor 2:7; 2 Thess 3:15; Heb 12:13; James 5:19f restore such a one d1 Cor 4:21in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. 2aRom 15:1 Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill bRom 8:2; 1 Cor 9:21; James 1:25; 2:12; 2 Pet 3:2the law of Christ. 3For aActs 5:36; 1 Cor 3:18; 2 Cor 12:11if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But each one must a1 Cor 11:28 examine his own work, and then he will have reason for bPhil 1:26boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. 5For aProv 9:12; Rom 14:12; 1 Cor 3:8each one will bear his own load.
6a1 Cor 9:11, 14 The one who is taught b2 Tim 4:2the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. 7a1 Cor 6:9 Do not be deceived, bJob 13:9 God is not mocked; for c2 Cor 9:6whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8aJob 4:8; Hos 8:7; Rom 6:21 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap b1 Cor 15:42 corruption, but cRom 8:11; James 3:18the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9a1 Cor 15:58; 2 Cor 4:1 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we bMatt 10:22; Heb 12:3, 5; James 5:7fdo not grow weary. 10So then, [F]Or as aProv 3:27; John 12:35 while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the bEph 2:19; Heb 3:6; 1 Pet 2:5; 4:17 household of cActs 6:7; Gal 1:23the faith.
11See with what large letters I [G]Or have written am writing to you a1 Cor 16:21with my own hand. 12Those who desire aMatt 23:27f to make a good showing in the flesh try to bActs 15:1 compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they cGal 5:11will not be persecuted [H]Or because of for the cross of Christ. 13For those who [I]Two early mss read have been are circumcised do not even aRom 2:25 keep [J]Or law the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may bPhil 3:3boast in your flesh. 14But aLuke 20:16; Gal 2:17; 3:21 may it never be that I would boast, b1 Cor 2:2 except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, cGal 2:20; Col 2:20 through [K]Or whom which the world has been crucified to me, and dRom 6:2, 6; Gal 2:19f; 5:24I to the world. 15For aRom 2:26, 28; 1 Cor 7:19; Gal 5:6 neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a b2 Cor 5:17; Eph 2:10, 15; 4:24; Col 3:10new [L]Or creature creation. 16And those who will [M]Or follow this rule walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the aRom 9:6; Gal 3:7, 29; Phil 3:3Israel of God.
17From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the aIs 44:5; Ezek 9:4; 2 Cor 4:10; 11:23; Rev 13:16brand-marks of Jesus.
18aRom 16:20 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be b2 Tim 4:22 with your spirit, cActs 1:15; Rom 1:13; Gal 3:15; 4:12, 28, 31brethren. Amen.
