Gal 6:1–10

6:1 Helping each other

6 Brothers and sisters, if a person has been caught sinning, you spiritual people need to guide the person with a spirit of gentleness, at the same time looking at your own behaviour, in case you yourselves are also tempted. 2 Help those who are going through difficulties or pain, and in doing so you’ll fulfil the messiah’s law, 3 because anyone who supposes themself to be someone special, but isn’t, is only deceiving themself. 4 Evaluate your own actions, but keep your boasts to yourself and don’t tell others, 5 because each person must face up to their own issues.

6 Those who are being taught should share all their blessings with those who are teaching.

7 Don’t be fooled—you can’t get away with mocking God, because what you sow determines what you’ll harvest. 8 Anyone who sows seed to feed their earthly desires will harvest earthly corruption, but anyone who sows spiritual seeds will harvest eternal life from the spirit. 9 Don’t be discouraged from doing good things, because we’ll have a good harvest in due course if we don’t give up. 10 So then, as time allows it, we should be working towards good for everybody, and especially for fellow believers.

6 Brothers, if even a_person may _be _previously _caught in a_certain transgression, you _all, the spiritual ones, be _preparing the such man in a_spirit of _gentleness, looking _out yourself, lest you also may _be _tempted.

2 Be _bearing the burdens of _one _another, and thus fulfill the law of _the chosen _one /messiah.

3 For/Because if anyone is _supposing to _be something, being nothing, he _is _deceiving himself.

4 But let_ each _be _approving the work of _himself, and then will _be _having the boast for himself only, and not for the another.

5 For/Because each will _be _bearing his own burden.

6 And the one being _instructed in _the message, let _be _sharing in all good things with _the one instructing him.

7 Be_ not _being _misled, god is_ not _being _snubbed.
For/Because whatever thing if a_person may _be _sowing, this also he _will _be _reaping.

8 Because the one sowing to the flesh of _himself, will _be _reaping corruption from the flesh, but the one sowing to the spirit, will _be _reaping eternal life from the spirit.

9 And we _may_ not _be _losing _heart doing the good, because/for in _time our_own, we _will _be _reaping not being _exhausted.

10 Therefore consequently, as we _are _having time, we _may _be _working the good toward all, and most _of _all toward the of _the household of _faith.
