1 Brethren, 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. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For 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. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men , especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But 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. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. 17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
1 fratres et si praeoccupatus fuerit homo in aliquo delicto
vos qui spiritales estis
huiusmodi instruite in spiritu lenitatis
considerans te ipsum ne et tu tempteris
2 alter alterius onera portate et sic adimplebitis legem Christi
3 nam si quis existimat se aliquid esse cum sit nihil
ipse se seducit
4 opus autem suum probet unusquisque
et sic in semet ipso tantum gloriam habebit et non in altero
5 unusquisque enim onus suum portabit
6 communicet autem is qui catecizatur verbum
ei qui se catecizat in omnibus bonis
7 nolite errare Deus non inridetur
8 quae enim seminaverit homo haec et metet
quoniam qui seminat in carne sua de carne et metet corruptionem
qui autem seminat in spiritu de spiritu metet vitam aeternam
9 bonum autem facientes non deficiamus
tempore enim suo metemus non deficientes
10 ergo dum tempus habemus operemur bonum ad omnes
maxime autem ad domesticos fidei
11 videte qualibus litteris scripsi vobis mea manu
12 quicumque volunt placere in carne
hii cogunt vos circumcidi
tantum ut crucis Christi persecutionem non patiantur
13 neque enim qui circumciduntur legem custodiunt
sed volunt vos circumcidi ut in carne vestra glorientur
14 mihi autem absit gloriari nisi in cruce Domini nostri Iesu Christi
per quem mihi mundus crucifixus est et ego mundo
15 in Christo enim Iesu neque circumcisio aliquid valet
neque praeputium
sed nova creatura
16 et quicumque hanc regulam secuti fuerint
pax super illos et misericordia et super Israhel Dei
17 de cetero nemo mihi molestus sit
ego enim stigmata Iesu in corpore meo porto
18 gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi cum spiritu vestro fratres amen
