Galatians 6

Paul instructs spiritual believers to gently restore those caught in transgression, bear one another's burdens to fulfill the law of Christ, examine their own work, and support teachers, warning that God is not mocked as one reaps what they sow—corruption from the flesh or eternal life from the Spirit.[1][2] He urges perseverance in doing good, boasts only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, emphasizes new creation over circumcision, invokes peace on those walking by this rule and the Israel of God, and notes the marks of Jesus on his body, concluding with a benediction of grace.[1][2]
