Galatians 6:5-10

J.B. Phillips New Testament

⁵ For every man must “shoulder his own pack”.

⁶ The man under Christian instruction should be willing to contribute towards the livelihood of his teacher.

The inevitability of life’s harvest

^7-10 Don’t be under any illusion: you cannot make a fool of God! A man’s harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sows. If he sows for his own lower nature his harvest will be the decay and death of his own nature. But if he sows for the Spirit he will reap the harvest of everlasting life by that Spirit. Let us not grow tired of doing good, for, unless we throw in our hand, the ultimate harvest is assured. Let us then do good to all men as opportunity offers, especially to those who belong to the Christian household.
