CONTEXT- Believers credentials in handling the doctrinal error

Galatians 6:1-10

1 My brothers, if any one of you is in error by running up a spiritual debt, then you who are spiritual should restore him with a spiritual attitude of meekness while watching out for yourselves that you are not tempted. 2 Work together to bear the responsibilities of the ministry [help alleviate each other’s pressures], and so fulfill Christ’s law [of love]. 3 Anyone who thinks he is too important [to share in the responsibilities] deceives himself, because no one is that important. 4 Let him prove his work [by sharing]. Then he will have satisfaction in his own work and not in someone else’s. 5 Every one must carry his own weight. 6 Let him who is given the instruction of the Word share abundantly all good things with him who gives instruction. 7 Do not be tricked. God is not to be insulted, for “A man reaps what he sows.” 8 He that sows in his own flesh shall reap corruption from the flesh, but he that sows in the spirit in manifestation shall reap everlasting life from the Spirit. 9 Let us not lose heart and become weary as we do good [abundantly sharing], for, at the proper time, we shall reap our rewards provided we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we now have the proper time [to sow], let us work for the good of all, but especially for those who are of the household of faith.
