Sow seeds of Love
Reap Gods goodness and Glory
Galatians 6:6-18
6 Let him who receives instruction in the Word [of God] share all good things with his teacher contributing to his support.
7 Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked [a]by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside. He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God. For whatever a man sows, that and [b]that only is what he will reap.
8 For he who sows to his own flesh lower nature, sensuality will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
9 And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.
10 So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [[c]morally] to all people not only [d]being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith those who belong to God’s family with you, the believers.
11 See with what large letters I am writing with my own hand. Mark carefully these closing words of mine.
12 Those who want to make a good impression and a fine show in the flesh would try to compel you to receive circumcision, simply so that they may escape being persecuted for allegiance to the cross of Christ the Messiah, the Anointed One.
13 For even the circumcised [Jews] themselves do not really keep the Law, but they want to have you circumcised in order that they may glory in your flesh your subjection to external rites.
14 But far be it from me to glory [in anything or anyone] except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah through Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!
15 For neither is circumcision now of any importance, nor uncircumcision, but [only] a new creation the result of a new birth and a new nature in Christ Jesus, the Messiah.
16 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and regulate their lives by this principle, even upon the true Israel of God!
17 From now on let no person trouble me [by [f]making it necessary for me to vindicate my apostolic authority and the divine truth of my Gospel, for I bear on my body the brand marks of the Lord Jesus [the wounds, scars, and other outward evidence of persecutions—these testify to His ownership of me!
18 The grace spiritual favor, blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ the Anointed One, the Messiah be with your spirit, brethren. Amen so be it.
