1 Brothers, if a man might be(=is) overtaken in any trespass, you, the spiritual ones, restore(# imperative) such a one in a spirit of gentleness, watching yourself lest you also [might] be tempted.

2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

3 For if anyone thinks to be something, being nothing(=when he is nothing), he deceives himself.

4 And let each one test his own work, and then he will have the boast in himself alone, and not in the another.

5 For each one will bear his own load.

6 And let the one being taught the word share in all good things (with) the one teaching.

7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man [might] sows, this(=that) he will reap.

8 For the one sowing to the flesh of himself(=his own flesh) will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one sowing to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

9 And (while) doing the good, let us not grow weary, for (in the) own(=proper) time we will reap, not being grown faint(=if we do not give up).

10 So then, as we have time(=opportunity), let us do [the] good to all, and especially to the households of [the] faith.

11 See how large letters I have written (to) you (with) my hand!

12 As many as want to look well(=to make a good showing) in (the) flesh, these compel(=are trying to compel) you to be circumcised, only in order that they may not be persecuted (for) the cross of Christ.

13 For not even the ones being circumcised themselves keep (the) law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they might(=may) boast in [the] your flesh.

14 But it may not be(# aorist optative) to boast to me(=May I never boast) except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom (the) world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation.

16 And as many as will keep in line with(=will walk by) this rule, peace and mercy (be) upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

17 (For) the rest(=From now on), let no one cause(=make) troubles (for) me. For I bear the marks of Jesus in(=on) my body.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (be) with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
