^6:1 Brethren, even if a man should be overtaken in any trespass, you^°, the spiritual, mend^° such a one in a spirit of meekness, noting any trespass in yourself, lest you might also be tempted. ^6:2 Bear^° the burdens of one another and thus fulfill^° the law of the Christ. ^6:3 For^* if anyone thinks himself to be something, being nothing, he is deceiving himself. ^6:4 But let each one test his own work and then he will have the boasting toward himself alone and not toward the other. ^6:5 For^* each one will be bearing his own load.

             ^6:6 But let him, the one who is instructed in the word, share in all good things with the one instructing. ^6:7 Do^° not be misled. God is not ridiculed; for^* whatever a man should sow, he will also be reaping this thing. ^6:8 Because he who is sowing to his own flesh will be reaping corruption from his flesh, but he who is sowing to the Spirit will be reaping everlasting life from the Spirit. ^6:9 Now we should not be depressed in practicing good, for^* we will be reaping in our own time, if being not faint. ^6:10 Therefore, consequently^*, as we have opportunity, we should work what is the good thing toward everyone but especially in the household of the faith.

             ^6:11 Behold^°, how-large my writing is that I wrote to you^° with my own hand.

               ^6:12 As many as wish to have a good^* countenance in the flesh, these are urging you^° to be circumcised only in-order-that they may not be persecuted for the cross of the Christ. ^6:13 For^* they themselves do not even observe the law (the ones who have been circumcised), but they wish you^° to be circumcised in-order-that they may boast in your^° flesh. ^6:14 But let it not happen for me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me and I to the world. ^6:15 For^* not anything like circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails in Christ Jesus, but a new creation. ^6:16 And as many as will be marching by this standard^*, peace and mercy is upon them and upon the Israel of God.

             ^6:17 Furthermore let no one be harassing me, for^* I bear the brands of the Lord Jesus on my body.

             ^6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your^° spirit, brethren. Amen.
