Galatians 6:1-5
KJV(i)1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
NSB(i)1 Brothers, if someone is caught in any kind of wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should set him right. But you must do it in a gentle way. And keep an eye on yourselves, so that you will not be tempted, too. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. 3 So if any one of you thinks you are important when you really are not, you are only fooling yourself. 4 Each of you must examine your own actions. Then you can be proud of your own accomplishments without comparing yourself to others. 5 For each person should carry his own load.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 Paul talks to the church, many in this church may have viewed Paul as more important than their selves but we are all brothers thru Christ. We are still in the flesh so we will fall to sin but not always be in sin. If we are in sin then this is a problem that needs to be fixed. If a person is living or repeatedly doing a sin they should have a friend talk to them, this is not to say every time a person sins that they should be talked to but only if the sin is something they may not be able to deal with on their own. These verses are not to guilt brothers in Christ but to aid brother in Christ the way Christ wants them to. If their sin is something another brother is still tempted with then this is not the best brother to speak to them, having said this the best person to speak to someone is a brother who has overcome as long as they do not still have temptations with this sin they could help their brother overcome their sin.
2 If a brother is going thru a trouble we should have concern for them as well. Their troubles should be our troubles. The law of Christ is built on love.
3 We are nothing without Christ but we are everything with Him. We may believe we are something as believers without Christ, this could lead to over confidence and self pride but being in the right mind means we trust in Him and know He works thru us gives us humility and gentleness.
4 We should examine what we do for the Lord and about where He has brought us from to gain better perspective of where wants us to go in the future. We should not boast in ourselves because we are all we are because of Him.
5 We each have our own troubles but coming together will make the troubles easier to get thru.
