True Christianity
6
📚Brethren, if anyone is taken in a sin, you who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness✭, considering yourself, so that you also are not tempted✭. 2 📚✭Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 📚✭For if a man thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 📚✭But let everyone test and prove his own work, and then he will have reason to rejoice in himself alone, and not in someone else. 5 📚✭For everyone should bear his own burden. 6 📚Let the one who is being taught the Word share all good things with the one who is doing the teaching.
7 📚✭Do not be deceived; God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that is what he will reap. 8 📚✭For he who sows to his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but he who sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap life everlasting. 9 📚And let us not be weary in doing good✭, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 📚✭Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11 📚You see with what large letters✭ I have written to you with my own hand.
What Paul gloried in
12 📚✭As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, are trying to compel you to be circumcised, only so that they can avoid suffering persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 📚For not even those who are circumcised keep✭ the Law. But they want to have you circumcised so they can boast✭ about your flesh. 14 📚But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross✭ of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified✭ to me, and I to the world. 15 📚For in Christ Jesus what avails is neither circumcision nor lack of circumcision, but a new creation✭. 16 📚Peace and mercy be on all those who live according to this rule✭, and on the Israel of God✭.
Closing words
17 📚✭From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear on my body the marks of the Lord Jesus✭.
18 📚✭Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
