Galatians6

Paul instructs believers to restore those in error with meekness and to bear one another's burdens, fulfilling the law of Christ. He emphasizes the principle of sowing and reaping, urging them to sow to the Spirit for everlasting life and not to grow weary in doing good to all, especially fellow believers. Finally, he contrasts glorying in circumcision with glorying in the cross of Christ, where only a new creature matters.

Bear One Another's Burdens

1
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.
2
Beare ye one anothers burden, and so fulfill the Lawe of Christ.
3
For if any man seeme to himselfe, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe in his imagination.
4
But let euery man prooue his owne worke: and then shall he haue reioycing in himselfe onely and not in another.
5
For euery man shall beare his owne burden.

The Law of Sowing and Reaping

6
Let him that is taught in the worde, make him that hath taught him, partaker of all his goods.

You Reap What You Sow

7
Be not deceiued: God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall hee also reape.
8
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.
9
Let vs not therefore be weary of well doing: for in due season we shall reape, if we faint not.
10
While we haue therefore time, let vs doe good vnto all men, but specially vnto them, which are of the housholde of faith.

Paul's Final Appeal and Warning

11
Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand.
12
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.
13
For they themselues which are circumcised keepe not the law, but desire to haue you circumcised, that they might reioyce in your flesh.
14
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.
15
For in Christ Iesus neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but a newe creature.
16
And as many as walke according to this rule, peace shalbe vpon them, and mercie, and vpon the Israel of God.
17
From henceforth let no man put me to busines: for I beare in my body the markes of the Lord Iesus.

Benediction

18
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. Vnto the Galatians written from Rome.
