Galatians 6

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Introduction

1  He moves them to deal mildly with a brother that has slipped,
2  and to bear one another's burden;
6  to be liberal to their teachers,
9  and not weary of well-doing.
12  He shows what they intend that preach circumcision.
14  He glories in nothing, save in the cross of Christ.
