Galatians 6:1-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 1 Brothers, even[a] if a person is overtaken[b] in some trespass, you spiritual ones be restoring[c] such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking-out-for yourself that you also not be tempted. 2 Be carrying one another’s burdens[d], and in this manner you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks that he is something while being nothing, he is deceiving himself.
Each Person Has a Boast Only With Reference To His Own Proven Work
4 But let each one prove[e] his own work— and then he will have the boast with reference to himself alone, and not with reference to the other person. 5 For each one will carry his own load[f].
We Will Reap What We Sow. Plant Good Works To Reap a Good Harvest
6 And let the one being instructed-in the word share with the one instructing in all good things.
