Galatians 6:1-10

New International Reader's Version

Do Good to Everyone

6 Brothers and sisters, what if someone is caught in a sin? Then you who live by the Spirit should correct that person. Do it in a gentle way. But be careful. You could be tempted too. ² Carry one another’s heavy loads. If you do, you will fulfill the law of Christ. ³ If anyone thinks they are somebody when they are nobody, they are fooling themselves. ⁴ Each person should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves. They won’t be comparing themselves to someone else. ⁵ Each person should carry their own load. ⁶ But those who are taught the word should share all good things with their teacher.

⁷ Don’t be fooled. You can’t outsmart God. A man gathers a crop from what he plants. ⁸ Some people plant to please their desires controlled by sin. From these desires they will harvest death. Others plant to please the Holy Spirit. From the Spirit they will harvest eternal life. ⁹ Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don’t give up. ¹⁰ So when we can do good to everyone, let us do it. Let’s try even harder to do good to the family of believers.
