Support One Another

Brothers and sisters,[a] if a person[b] is discovered in some sin,[c] you who are spiritual[d] restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness.[e] Pay close attention[f] to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too. Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Let each one examine[g] his own work. Then he can take pride[h] in himself and not compare himself with[i] someone else. For each one will carry[j] his own load.

Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches[k] it.
