Galatians 6:1-9

1Brothers and sisters, if a person gets trapped by wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should help that person turn away from doing wrong. Do it in a gentle way. At the same time watch yourself so that you also are not tempted.

2Help carry each other’s burdens. In this way you will follow Christ’s teachings.

3So if any one of you thinks you’re important when you’re really not, you’re only fooling yourself.

4Each of you must examine your own actions. Then you can be proud of your own accomplishments without comparing yourself to others.

5Assume your own responsibility.

6The person who is taught God’s word should share all good things with his teacher.

7Make no mistake about this: You can never make a fool out of God. Whatever you plant is what you’ll harvest.

8If you plant in ⌞the soil of⌟ your corrupt nature, you will harvest destruction. But if you plant in ⌞the soil of⌟ your spiritual nature, you will harvest everlasting life.

9We can’t allow ourselves to get tired of living the right way. Certainly, each of us will receive ⌞everlasting life⌟ at the proper time, if we don’t give up.
