Carry One Another’s Burdens 1 WBS Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. BSB BSB: Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
3 WBS For if a man thinketh himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. BSB BSB: If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 WBS But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. BSB BSB: Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.
5 WBS For every man shall bear his own burden. BSB BSB: For each one should carry his own load.
6 WBS Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teacheth in all good things. BSB BSB: Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor.
8 WBS For he that soweth to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall from the Spirit reap life everlasting. BSB BSB: The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
9 WBS And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. BSB BSB: Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10 WBS As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men , especially to them who are of the household of faith. BSB BSB: Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
Final Warnings and Blessings 11 WBS Ye see how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand. BSB BSB: See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
12 WBS As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. BSB BSB: Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 WBS For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. BSB BSB: For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
15 WBS For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. BSB BSB: For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
16 WBS And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. BSB BSB: Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.
17 WBS From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. BSB BSB: From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 WBS Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. BSB BSB: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
