‏ Galatians 6:1

Tenderness in Restoring the Fallen

In this section, Paul gives practical advice for Christians on how to help each other. He teaches that when someone is caught in sin, others should respond with gentleness and humility. Paul also reminds believers to support each other and not to think too highly of themselves. Each person is responsible before God for their own actions, but they should still care for and help others, including sharing with their teachers and doing good to everyone.

v. 1: If a Christian is caught doing something wrong, those who are spiritual should help restore that person gently. They should not be harsh, but instead act with a spirit of meekness. Paul warns that anyone helping should be careful, because they could also be tempted to sin (Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted; Galatians 6:1 a).
