1Brethren, if a man be occupied in any guilt [or overcome in any trespass], ye that be spiritual, inform ye [or teach] such one in spirit of softness, [or meekness], beholding thyself, lest that thou be tempted, [falling in the same wise].

2Each bear other’s charges, and so ye shall fulfill the law of Christ.

3For who that troweth [or guesseth] that he be aught, when he is nought, he beguileth himself.

4But each man prove his own work, and so he shall have glory [only] in himself, and not in another.

5For each man shall bear his own charge.

6He that is taught in word, commune he with him that teacheth him, in all goods [or in all good things].

7Do not ye err, God is not scorned; for those things that a man soweth, those things he shall reap.

8For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh he shall reap corruption; but he that soweth in the Spirit, of the Spirit he shall reap everlasting life.

9And doing good fail we not; for in his time we shall reap, not failing.

10Therefore while we have time, work we good to all men; but most to them that be home-like [or that be the household meine] of the faith.

11See ye, what manner letters I have written to you with mine own hand.

12For whoever will please in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised, only that they suffer not the persecution of Christ’s cross.

13For neither they that be circumcised keep the law; but they will, that they have glory in your flesh.

14But far be it from me to have glory, [no] but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

15For in Jesus Christ neither circum-cision is anything worth, nor prepuce, but a new creature.

16And whoever [shall] pursue this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and on Israel of God.

17And hereafter [or From hence-forth], no man be heavy to me; for I bear in my body the tokens, [or the wounds], of our Lord Jesus Christ.

18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
