Freedom in Caring for Others

Brothers and sisters, if a person gets entrapped in some transgression, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, watching out for yourself so that you also will not be tempted. Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deceiving himself. But let each person examine his own work and then he will have reason for boasting in himself alone and not in another. For each person will have to carry his own load. The one who is being instructed in the word should share fully with the one who is instructing him in all good things. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the spirit will from the spirit reap life in the age to come. Now let us not grow weary in doing what is good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith. Galatians 6: 1-10
