Galatians 5:25–6:10

²⁵The Spirit has given us life; he must also control our lives. ²⁶We must not be proud or irritate one another or be jealous of one another.

Bear One Another’s Burdens

6My brothers and sisters, 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. ²Help to carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will obey^h the law of Christ. ³If someone thinks he or she is somebody when really they are nobody, they are only deceiving themselves. ⁴You 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. ⁵For we each have our own load to carry.

⁶Those who are being taught the Christian message should share all the good things they have with their teachers.

⁷Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. People will reap exactly what they sow. ⁸If they sow in the field of their natural desires, from it they will gather the harvest of death; if they sow in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit they will gather the harvest of eternal life. ⁹So 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. ¹⁰So 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.
