Doing Good to All
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.
If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.
Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,
Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Don’t be misled — you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone — especially to those in the family of faith.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Paul’s Final Advice
Notice what large letters I use as I write these closing words in my own handwriting.
Not Circumcision but the New Creation
See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don’t want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save.
Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
And even those who advocate circumcision don’t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.
Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.
It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.
From now on, don’t let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.
From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
