Notes

If believers take responsibility for themselves (6:4), they will not treat others as if they are worth less than themselves (6:3).

Paul explains how to lovingly help other Christians when they make mistakes.

Living by the Spirit (5:13–6:10) leads to doing good deeds (6:1–5) and receiving blessings from the good work we do (6:6–10).
