Galatians 6:1-6

25–6:6. Life by the spirit brings unselfish care for others, e.g. for one’s teachers

(Galatians 5:25) Life by the spirit leads to a life in right relation to others. (Galatians 5:26) We must all beware of conceit, self-assertion, envy. (Galatians 6:1) For example, my brethren; take even the case of a man overcome in any transgression; you who live and walk by the spirit must amend him, in your spiritual life marked by meekness, each of you considering his own liability to temptation. (Galatians 5:2) So generally: carry each other’s burdens, thus filling up the measure proposed for you by the true law, that which is seen in and brought by Christ. (Galatians 5:3) For refusal to do this, due to an overhigh estimate of one’s self, means self-deception. (Galatians 5:4) Let each test, not his heart, but his work, and so find satisfaction about himself, not in his superiority to others. (Galatians 5:5) This is important, for hereafter each shall carry his own load. (Galatians 5:6) An example of carrying each other’s burdens; let the taught share in temporal things with his teacher.
