Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted. 2You must bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill al-Masih’s “shariah.” 3For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbour. 5For each man will bear his own burden. 6But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches. 7Do not be deceived. Allah is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. 8For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up. 10So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
11See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand. 12As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of al-Masih. 13For even those who receive circumcision do not keep the Taurat’s whole shariah themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh. 14But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord ‘Isa al-Masih, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15For in al-Masih ‘Isa neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on Allah’s Israel. 17From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord ‘Isa in my body.
18The grace of our Lord ‘Isa al-Masih be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
