5:25. If we are living by means of the Spirit, by means of the Spirit let us also guide our actions. Let us not become vainglorious, provoking each other, envying each other. Brothers, even if a man should be taken in the very act of doing wrong, you, who are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; seeing to yourself, so that you also may not be tempted. Bear each others' burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if any one thinks he is something when he is nothing he is deceiving himself. But let each one put his own work to the test and then he will have his ground of boasting only in what concerns himself and not in what concerns another. For each one must carry his own load. Let him who is taught in the word share with his teacher in everything that is good. Do not be deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows that will he also reap. For he who sows to his own carnal nature, Will, from his carnal nature, reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit, Will, from the Spirit, reap life eternal. Let us not lose heart in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not grow weary. So, then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to GAL. 6: 10. THE CROSS OF CHRIST. 135 everybody, but especially to those who are of the household of faith. See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only so that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ. For not even those who have themselves circumcised, no, they themselves do not keep the law. But they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast of what has been done to your flesh. But I will by no means boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. For it is through him the world is crucified to me and I to the world. For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision. On the contrary, a new creature is. And as many as are living by this rule, And on the Israel of God. In the future let no one trouble me. branded on my body the marks of Jesus. For I carry The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen. |
