Galatians 6:1-6:10
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should
restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry
each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If
anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself,
without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry
his own load.
Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things
with his instructor.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap
destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will
reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper
time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong
to the family of believers.
Key #3 - Building Others Up

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with
the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they
will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
