²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us walk in the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not be vainglorious, provoking one another and envying one another.

He exhorts them to brotherly love, and to bear with one another. In the end, he warns them to beware of circumcision.

6 Brethren, if anyone has fallen by chance into any fault, you who are spiritual should help to amend him, in the spirit of humility – considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. ² Bear one another’s burden, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

³ If any person seems to himself to be something, when indeed he is nothing, the same deceives himself in his imagination.

⁴ Let each prove his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in his own self, and not in another. ⁵ For every person will reap for himself.

⁶ Let him who is taught in the word minister to the one who teaches him, in all good things. ⁷ Be not deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he will reap. ⁸ He who sows to his flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap life everlasting. ⁹ Let us not be weary of well-doing. For when the time comes, we will reap without weariness. ¹⁰ Therefore, while we have time, let us do good to all men, and especially to them who are of the household of faith.

²¹ From that time on, Jesus began to explain to his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, and from the high priests and from the scribes, and must be killed, and rise up again the third day. ²² But Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, spare yourself! This should not happen to you. ²³ Then Jesus turned about and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan! You offend me, because you savour not the things of God, but things of the world.

²⁴ Jesus then said to his disciples, If any person would follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoever would save his life, will lose it. And whosoever loses his life for my sake, will find it. ²⁶ What will it profit a man, though he should win all the whole world, if he loses his own soul? Or, what can a man give to redeem his soul? ²⁷ For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then shall he reward every person according to his deeds.

²⁸ Truly I say to you, some there are among them that stand here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Son of man come in his kingdom.
