³For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁴But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.

⁵For each man will bear his own burden.

⁸For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

⁹Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don`t give up.

¹⁰So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

¹²As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

¹³For even they who receive circumcision don`t keep the law themselves, 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, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

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

¹⁶As many as will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God`s Israel.
