6:1 Brothers and sisters,1 if a person2 is discovered in some sin,3 you who are spiritual4 restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness.5 Pay close attention6 to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too. 6:2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 6:4 Let each one examine7 his own work. Then he can take pride8 in himself and not compare himself with9 someone else. 6:5 For each one will carry10 his own load.

6:6 Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches11 it. 6:7 Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool.12 For a person13 will reap what he sows, 6:8 because the person who sows to his own flesh14 will reap corruption15 from the flesh,16 but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 6:9 So we must not grow weary17 in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.18 6:10 So then,19 whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.20
