Father Mike Schmitz

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.

Chapter 6.

Bear One Another's Burdens Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness.

Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

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

But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.

For each man will have to bear his own load.

Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches.

Do not be deceived.

God is not mocked.

For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption.

But he who sows to the spirit will from the spirit reap eternal life.

And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

See with what large letters I am writing to you in my own hand.

It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh.
