B RETHREN: If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become desirous of vain-glory, provoking one another, envying one another, Chap. 6. If a man be overtaken in any fault, you who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also should be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens: and so you will fulfil the law of Christ. For if any man think himself to be something, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man examine his own actions, and so he will have glory in himself only, and not in another, For every man shall bear his own burthen. And let him who is instructed in the word, make him, who instructeth him, partaker of all his good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption: but he that soweth in the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life everlasting. Let us therefore not fail doing good; for in due season we shall also not fail reaping. Therefore whilst we have time, let us do good toall men, but especially to those, who are of the household of faith. GRAD. Ps. xci. 'Tis good to praise the Lord; and to sing to thy name, O thou the most High. V. Bonum est confiteri Domino; et psallere nomini tuo, Altissime. V.
