# Galatians 6

*Deal kindly with the erring Do good to all men Glory in the cross of Christ.*

**1** Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness: considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
**2** Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
**3** For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
**4** But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
**5** For every man shall bear his own burden.
**6** Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
**7** Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
**8** For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
**9** And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
**10** As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
**11** Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
**12** As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain EPllESIANS. you to be circumcised; only 1-est they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
**13** For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
**14** But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
**15** For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor an-circumcision, but a new creature.
**16** And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
**17** From henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
**18** Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Unto the Galatians, written from Rome.
