1 弟兄们, 如果有人陷在一些过犯里, 你们属灵的人, 要用温柔的心使他回转过来, 自己却要小心, 免得也被引诱。
2 你们各人的重担要互相担当, 这样就成全了基督的律法。
3 如果有人本来没有什么了不起, 却自以为是了不起的, 就是欺骗自己。
4 各人应该省察自己所作的, 这样, 他引以为荣的, 就只在自己而不在别人了;
5 因为各人的担子, 是要自己担当的。
6 在圣道上受教的, 应该和施教的人分享自己的一切美物。
7 不要自欺, 神是不可轻慢的。人种的是什么, 收的也是什么:
8 顺着自己的肉体撒种的, 必定从肉体收取败坏; 顺着圣灵撒种的, 必定从圣灵收取永生。
9 我们行善, 不要觉得厌烦; 如果不松懈, 到了适当的时候, 就有收成。
10 所以, 我们一有机会, 就应该对众人行善, 对信徒更要这样。
11 请看, 我亲手写给你们的字是多么的大。
12 那些在外表上要体面的人, 他们勉强你们受割礼, 不过是怕为了基督的十字架受迫害。
13 那些受割礼的人, 自己也不遵守律法, 反而要你们受割礼, 为的是要借着你们的肉身夸口。
14 至于我, 我绝不以别的夸口, 只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架。借着这十字架, 在我来说, 世界已经钉在十字架上了; 就世界来说, 我也已经钉在十字架上了。
15 受割礼或不受割礼, 都算不得什么, 要紧的是作新造的人。
16 所有照这准则而行的人, 愿平安怜悯临到他们, 就是临到 神的以色列。
17 从今以后, 谁也不要搅扰我, 因为我身上带着耶稣的烙痕。
18 弟兄们, 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们同在("与你们同在"原文作"与你们的心灵同在")。阿们。
1 Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor. 5 For each man shall bear his own burden.
6 But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.
11 See with how large letters I write unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
