Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
For each one should carry their own load. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.
From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
The Christian community cares and shares. Those who stumble are set right. Burdens are shared. People harvest exactly what they sow in life; a harvest of death on the on hand and eternal life on the other. So we should do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to our family in the faith.
At this point, Paul takes the pen from his secretary to write the last lines himself. For him, there is only one thing worth glorying in; the power of the cross of Christ to re-create and transform human lives. Like the brand burned onto a slave, the scars Paul bears form his work for Chris to show to whom he belongs.
Why?
We should love our brothers and sisters when they caught in a sin, gently speaking to them.
Paul bears the make of Jesus Christ means he lives out the symbol of Jesus Christ. This is our target in our life.
Circumcision is meaningless to all Christian, but live out the new creation life of Jesus Chris.

自由是隨著聖靈而行。不是行律法的表面，而是行出律法的真理-愛人如己。
1.對軟弱者應溫柔挽回：用愛心相互服事，我們也有可能軟弱。軟弱不是輕聲，而是以對方立場來想，不是用自己的角度看事情。
2.常常謙卑反省：無有還以為自己有。看見別人犯罪要成為自己的提醒。特別是我們按時聚會、讀經、禱告、按時奉獻，很容易以為自己很屬靈了。當自己有可誇之處，也不對人說
3.慷慨分享： 面對有需要的人。與一切有需要的人分享神的心意。神給我們豐盛就是要我們去分享，不是為自己。
4.我們要誇的是耶穌基督：不是希圖外貌的人只有表面工夫，另外一種是成為新造的人，因聖靈有外在的行為表現。

How?
Follow the Spirit and live out the life of new creation through Jesus Christ.
