Book of Common Prayer
6 1 Brothers, even[a] if a person is overtaken[b] in some trespass, you spiritual ones be restoring[c] such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking-out-for yourself that you also not be tempted. 2 Be carrying one another’s burdens[d], and in this manner you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks that he is something while being nothing, he is deceiving himself.
Each Person Has a Boast Only With Reference To His Own Proven Work
4 But let each one prove[e] his own work— and then he will have the boast with reference to himself alone, and not with reference to the other person. 5 For each one will carry his own load[f].
We Will Reap What We Sow. Plant Good Works To Reap a Good Harvest
6 And let the one being instructed-in the word share with the one instructing in all good things. 7 Do not be deceived— God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. 8 Because the one sowing to his own flesh will reap decay from the flesh. But the one sowing to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 9 And let us not grow-weary while doing good. For in His own time we not losing-heart[g] will reap. 10 So then, while we have[h] opportunity[i], let us be working good to everyone, but especially to the family-members of the faith.
Permit The Children To Come, For of Such Is The Kingdom of God
15 And they were also[a] bringing babies[b] to Him in order that He might touch them. But having seen it, the disciples were rebuking them[c]. 16 But Jesus summoned them[d], saying, “Permit the children to be coming to Me, and do not be forbidding them. For the kingdom of God is of [e] such ones. 17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter into it”.
A Rich Ruler Asks What To Do To Inherit Life. Sell All You Have And Follow Me
18 And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, [by] having done what shall I inherit eternal life?” 19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One— God. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit-adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give-false-testimony, be honoring your father and mother’”. 21 And the one said, “I kept these all from my youth”. 22 And having heard it, Jesus said to him, “One thing is still lacking for you— Sell all that you have and distribute it to poor ones, and you will have treasure in the heavens. And come, be following Me”. 23 But the one, having heard these things, became deeply-grieved. For he was extremely rich. 24 And having seen him having become deeply grieved, Jesus said, “How difficultly the ones having wealth come into the kingdom of God. 25 For it is easier that a camel enter through an opening of a needle than[f] that a rich one enter into the kingdom of God”.
All Who Leave Behind Anything For Me Will Receive Back Many Times As Much
26 And the ones having heard it said, “Who indeed can be saved?” 27 And the One said, “The things impossible with humans are possible with God”. 28 And Peter said, “Behold— we, having left our own things, followed You”. 29 And the One said to them, “Truly I say to you[g] all that there is no one who left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will by any means not receive back many-times-as-much in this time, and in the coming age— eternal life”.
