2 By helping each other with your troubles, you truly obey the law of Christ.
3 If anyone thinks he is important when he really is not, he is only fooling himself.
4 Each person should judge his own actions and not compare himself with others. Then he can be proud for what he himself has done.
5 Each person must be responsible for himself.
6 Anyone who is learning the teaching of God should share all the good things he has with his teacher.
7 Do not be fooled: You cannot cheat God. People harvest only what they plant.
8 If they plant to satisfy their sinful selves, their sinful selves will bring them ruin. But if they plant to please the Spirit, they will receive eternal life from the Spirit.
