Bear One Another’s Burdens

(A)Brothers, even if [a]anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are (B)spiritual, (C)restore such a one (D)in a spirit of gentleness, each of you looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. (E)Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill (F)the law of Christ. For (G)if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But each one must (H)examine his own work, and then he will have reason for (I)boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. For (J)each one will bear his own load.

(K)And the one who is instructed in (L)the word is to share in all good things with the one who instructs him.

We Harvest What We Plant

Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer[a] is overcome by some sin, you who are godly[b] should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.

Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.

Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
