  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’s 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.

  ⁴⁶“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

  ⁴⁷Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

  ⁴⁸He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

  ⁴⁹But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

  ¹After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
