Galatians 5:25–6:10

²⁵Since we live by the Spirit, let us march in step with the Spirit. ²⁶Let us not become proud. Let us not make each other angry. Let us not want what belongs to others.

Do Good to Everyone

6Brothers and sisters, what if someone is caught in a sin? Then you who are guided by the Spirit should correct that person. Do it in a gentle way. But be careful. You could be tempted too. ²Carry each other’s heavy loads. If you do, you will give the law of Christ its full meaning.

³If you think you are somebody when you are nobody, you are fooling yourselves. ⁴Each of you should put your own actions to the test. Then you can take pride in yourself. You won’t be comparing yourself to somebody else. ⁵Each of you should carry your own load.

⁶Those who are taught the word must share all good things with their teacher.

⁷Don’t be fooled. You can’t outsmart God. A man gathers a crop from what he plants. ⁸Some people plant to please their sinful nature. From that nature they will harvest death. Others plant to please the Holy Spirit. From the Spirit they will harvest eternal life.

⁹Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don’t give up. ¹⁰So when we can do good to everyone, let us do it. Let us make a special point of doing good to those who belong to the family of believers.
