Galatians 5:22-6:17
English Standard Version Anglicised
22 But (A)the fruit of the Spirit is (B)love, joy, peace, patience, (C)kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 (D)gentleness, (E)self-control; (F)against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus (G)have crucified the flesh with its (H)passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, (I)let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 (J)Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Bear One Another's Burdens
6 Brothers,[a] (K)if anyone is caught in any transgression, (L)you who are spiritual should restore him in (M)a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 (N)Bear one another's burdens, and (O)so fulfil (P)the law of Christ. 3 For (Q)if anyone thinks he is something, (R)when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one (S)test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbour. 5 For (T)each will have to bear his own load.
6 (U)One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 (V)Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for (W)whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For (X)the one who sows to his own flesh (Y)will from the flesh reap corruption, but (Z)the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And (AA)let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, (AB)if we do not give up. 10 So then, (AC)as we have opportunity, let us (AD)do good to everyone, and especially to those who are (AE)of the household of faith.
Final Warning and Benediction
11 See with what large letters I am writing to you (AF)with my own hand. 12 (AG)It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh (AH)who would force you to be circumcised, and only (AI)in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to boast (AJ)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which[b] the world (AK)has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For (AL)neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but (AM)a new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, (AN)peace and mercy be upon them, and upon (AO)the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

Galatians 5:22-6:17
New International Version
22 But the fruit(A) of the Spirit is love,(B) joy, peace,(C) forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.(D) Against such things there is no law.(E) 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh(F) with its passions and desires.(G) 25 Since we live by the Spirit,(H) let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited,(I) provoking and envying each other.
Doing Good to All
6 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit(J) should restore(K) that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.(L) 3 If anyone thinks they are something(M) when they are not, they deceive themselves.(N) 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone,(O) without comparing themselves to someone else,(P) 5 for each one should carry their own load.(Q) 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.(R)
7 Do not be deceived:(S) God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.(T) 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh,(U) from the flesh will reap destruction;(V) whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.(W) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good,(X) for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.(Y) 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good(Z) to all people, especially to those who belong to the family(AA) of believers.
Not Circumcision but the New Creation
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!(AB)
12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh(AC) are trying to compel you to be circumcised.(AD) The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted(AE) for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law,(AF) yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.(AG) 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,(AH) through which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.(AI) 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything;(AJ) what counts is the new creation.(AK) 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to[b] the Israel of God.
17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks(AL) of Jesus.
