y Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.
z Do not be deceived:
God is not mocked,
for a whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
For b the one who sows to his own flesh c will from the flesh reap corruption,
but d the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
And e let us not grow weary of doing good ,
for in due season we will reap,
f if we do not give up.
So then, g as we have opportunity, let us h do good to everyone,
and especially to those who are i of the household of faith.
inference
series
progression
Spiritual believers should restore a sinning believer gently and watchfully.
Bearing each other's burdens fulfills Christ's law because everyone is responsible to bear his own load of service.
You should restore someone who sins; you see, bearing each other's burdens is your responsibility in fulfilling the law of Christ.
Share good things with those who teach the Word to you.
Don't think that you can live sinfully without reaping the consequences.
Keep doing good to everyone, because you will eventually reap what you sow.
The principle of sowing and reaping teaches us to persevere in doing good to others.
