Galatians 6:6-18 Page 993 in Pew Bibles The one who is taught the message must share his goods with the teacher. GALATIANS
Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap, because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. GALATIANS
So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up. GALATIANS
So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith. GALATIANS
Look at what large letters I have written to you in my own handwriting. GALATIANS
Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised—but only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even the circumcised don’t keep the law themselves; however, they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh. GALATIANS
But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For both circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation. GALATIANS
May peace be on all those who follow this standard, and mercy also be on the Israel of God! From now on, let no one cause me trouble, because I carry the marks of Jesus on my body. Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. GALATIANS
