Galatians 6:1-6
1599 Geneva Bible
6 1 Now he entreateth particularly of charity toward such as offend, 6 toward the Minsters of the word, 10 and those that are of the household of faith: 12 Not like unto such who have a counterfeit zeal of the Law, 13 glorying in the mangling of the flesh, 14 and not in the cross of Christ.
1 Brethren, [a]If a man be [b]suddenly taken in any offense, ye which are [c]spiritual, [d]restore such one with the [e]spirit of meekness, [f]considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 [g]Bear ye one another’s burden, and so fulfill the [h]Law of Christ.
3 For if any man seem to himself, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself in his imagination.
4 But let every man prove his own work: and then shall he have rejoicing in himself only and not in another.
5 (A)[i]For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 [j]Let him that is taught in the word, make him that hath taught him, partaker of [k]all his (B)goods.
