Just So You Do Not Forget
Finishing the book of Galatians. We look at what Paul closes with and apply it to our own life.
Galatians 6:1-18(KJV) 1Brethren, if a man
be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the
spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he
deceiveth himself.
4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have
rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5For every man shall bear his own burden.
6Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that
teacheth in all good things.
7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.
8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not.
10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
11Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own
hand.
12As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain
you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross
of Christ.
13For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but
desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on
them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the
marks of the Lord Jesus.
18Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen.
Galatians 6:1-18(NKJV) 1Brethren, if a man is overtaken in
any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of
gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing,
he deceives himself.
4But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have
rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5For each one shall bear his own load.
6Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him
who teaches.
7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows,
that he will also reap.
8For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but
he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
9And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we
shall reap if we do not lose heart.
10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all,
especially to those who are of the household of faith.
11See with what large letters I have written to you with my own
hand!
12As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would
compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the
cross of Christ.
13For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they
desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.
14But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, £by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world.
15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails
anything, but a new creation.
16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be
upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
17From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks
of the Lord Jesus.
18Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen.
