1Brothers, even if a man is caught in some trespass, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, watching yourself, lest you also be tempted.

2Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Messiah.

3For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4But let each one test his own work, and then he will have his reason for boasting in himself alone and not in the other person,

5For each one will carry his own load.
