📖 Galatians introduction

Read the chapter

1Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted. ✦ 2Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. ✦ 3For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. ✦ 4But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else. ✦ 5For each man will bear his own burden. ✦ 6But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches. ✦ 7Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ✦ 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’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith. ✦ 11See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand. ✦ 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 in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. ✦ 16As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel. ✦ 17From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body. ✦ 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. ✦

Where this chapter connects

Christ at the center

Christ became a curse for us to redeem us from the law's curse, that we might receive the Spirit and be sons — justified by faith in him, not by works.
