e surprised into any act of offence, ye that
are spiritual, replace such a one in the spirit of meekness; keeping an
attentive eye on thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (2)Bear ye one
another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. (3)For if any man
conceits that he is something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
(4)But let every man bring his own work to the test, and then shall he
have glorying in himself alone, and not _by comparison_ with another.
(5)For every man shall bear his own burden.
(6)Let him who is a learner of the word communicate to his instructor
in all good things. (7)Be not deceived; God is not to be trifled with:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (8)For he that
soweth unto his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption, and he that
soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (9)Let
us not then be weary of well-doing; for in due time we shall reap, if
we faint not. (10)Well then, whilst we have opportunity, let us do good
unto all men, but especially unto those who are of the household of
faith.
(11)Ye see in how many words I have written unto you with my own hand.
(12)As many as wish to make a fair appearance in the flesh, they compel
you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for
the cross of Christ. (13)For even they who are themselves circumcised
do not keep the law, but desire you to be 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 any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. (16)And as
many as shall walk after this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and
upon the Israel of God.
(17)Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear the marks of our Lord
Jesus Christ in my body.
(18)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren.
Amen.

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints

(3)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ;
