6:1 • Brothers and sisters, if a man or woman should be caught in some offense or error, you who are spiritual RESTORE (u) such a one inside of a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. • 2 Carry one another’s great weight of value [v], and thus you shall complete the law of Christ to full measure. 3 For if anyone who is nothing thinks himself to be something, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself and not in another. 5 For each will bear his own load.

6 Let the one being taught in the word share in all good things with the one teaching.

• 7 Do not be misled; God is not sneered at; whatever indeed a man might sow, that also he will reap. 8 For the one who sows into his flesh will reap decay and rottenness; the one, however, who sows into the Spirit, out from Spirit will reap age-unfolding life. • 9 And we should not grow weary in doing good; for in the right season, not having given up, we will reap a harvest. 10 So then, as we are now in the right season, we should work good toward all, especially toward those of the household of faith.

11 See how large of letters I have written to you with my own hand. 12 All those who wish to put on a good show of appearance inside of flesh compel you to be circumcised, but only so that they would not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 Yet these who circumcise themselves do not guard or watch over the law; rather, they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast in [their victory over] your flesh. • 14 For me, however, never may it be that I should boast except inside of the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom the world-cosmos has already been crucified to me and I to the world-cosmos. 15 Neither is circumcision nor uncircumcision anything, but a New Creation. [w] 16 And as many of those who would walk by this standard, peace be upon them and mercy and upon the Israel of God.

17 From now on, let no one give me trouble; indeed, I bear the marks of Jesus in my body. 18 The grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Let it be so – it is so.

Gospel Comments	Notes
• Ruling Verse 8: To Love is to place the highest Value upon another. To Jesus, you and I are worth more than His own Life, which He gives freely in trade for us. In the same way, this one who made such a stupid mistake is more valuable to us than our own life and honor, for we love one another. • The Form for God through Jesus: To restore is to place a brother or sister back into Galatians 2:20, into intimate union with Christ. Yet to restore is the Father through us, clothed in humility, that He might have a Home in which to dwell. • Speak Christ: To sow to the Spirit is to speak Christ made personal as us in the full TRUST that the Spirit causes us to be just like the Lord Jesus Christ. • Ruling Verse 9: Yet we also sow to the Spirit towards others, as we speak Christ into them, in utter Trust that the Spirit of God does that which is Fruit through us for their sakes. To reap the harvest is to know many coming into the same Life of Christ, even as we share with Jesus in all. • Ruling Verse 5: The Gospel is not about “will-power” or “human control.” The Gospel is Jesus inside of us in Person, sharing all with us, and causing us to LIVE by the wondrous Flow of His Spirit, free from the false stories of the world.	u. Restore, the best choice of word. v. This is the literal and correct meaning of the Greek word Paul used, to carry one another’s “great weight of value,” and not “burden.” w. Refer back to 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, written just a few months before.
