Bear One Another's Burdens (GAL 6:1-10)

[6:1] My friends, if someone is caught in any kind of wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should set him right; but you must do it in a gentle way. And keep an eye on yourselves, so that you will not be tempted, too.

[6:2] Help carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ.

[6:3] If you think you are something when you really are nothing, you are only deceiving yourself.

[6:4] You should each judge your own conduct. If it is good, then you can be proud of what you yourself have done, without having to compare it with what someone else has done.

[6:5] For each of you have to carry your own load.

[6:6] If you are being taught the Christian message, you should share all the good things you have with your teacher.

[6:7] Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.

[6:8] If you plant in the field of your natural desires, from it you will gather the harvest of death; if you plant in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit you will gather the harvest of eternal life.

[6:9] So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.

[6:10] So then, as often as we have the chance, we should do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to our family in the faith.
