The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1Brothers, if a man is overtaken in some trespass, you the spiritual ones, set such a one straight in a spirit of meekness, looking at yourself lest you be tried too. 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so complete the Torah of Messiah. 3For if anyone thinks himself to be somebody, when he is not, he deceives himself. 4But let each one examine his own work, and then he shall have boasting in himself alone, and not in another. 5For each one shall bear his own burden. 6And let him who is instructed in the Word share in all that is good, with him who is instructing. 7Do not be led astray: Elohim is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he shall also reap. 8Because he who sows to his own flesh shall reap corruption from the flesh, but he who sows to the Spirit shall reap everlasting life from the Spirit. 9And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not grow weary. 10So then, as we have occasion, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of the belief. 11See with what big letters I have written to you with my own hand! 12As many as wish to make a good show in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only so that they should not be persecuted for the stake of Messiah. 13For those who are circumcised do not even watch over the Torah, but they wish to have you circumcised so that they might boast in your flesh. 14And for me, let it not be that I should boast except in the stake of our Master יהושע Messiah, through whom the world has been impaled to me, and I to the world. 15For in Messiah יהושע neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any strength, but a renewed creature.a 16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and compassion be upon them, and upon the Yisra’ĕl of Elohim. 17From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the scars of the Master יהושע. 18The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with your spirit, brothers. Amĕn. |
