1Brothers,[1] if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. (诗141:5; 羅15:1; 林前2:15; 林前4:21; 林前10:15; 林后2:7; 提后2:25; 來12:13; 雅5:19)2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. (约13:34; 羅15:1; 加5:14; 帖前5:14; 约一4:21)3For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. (林前3:7; 林前3:18; 林后12:11; 加2:6)4But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. (林前11:28; 林后13:5)5For each will have to bear his own load. (羅14:12)6Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. (羅15:27; 林前9:11)7Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. (林前6:9; 林前15:33; 林后9:6; 雅1:16)8For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (伯4:8; 何8:7; 羅6:21; 雅3:18)9And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. (太10:22; 林前15:58; 帖后3:13; 來10:36; 來12:3; 來12:5)10So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (箴3:27; 约9:4; 约12:35; 弗2:19; 弗4:28; 帖前5:15; 提前5:8; 提前6:18; 來3:6)
Final Warning and Benediction
11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. (林前16:21)12It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. (林后11:13; 加2:3; 加5:11)13For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, 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 Jesus Christ, by which[2] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (羅6:6; 林前2:2; 腓3:3; 腓3:7)15For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. (约3:5; 约3:7; 羅2:28; 羅6:4; 加5:6)16And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. (诗125:5; 诗128:6; 羅2:29; 羅4:12; 羅9:6; 加3:7; 加3:9; 加3:29; 腓3:3)17From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. (羅16:20; 提后4:22; 门1:25)
