Galatians 6:4
Compare all
2 aBear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill bthe law of Christ.  
3 For aif anyone thinks himself to be something, when bhe is nothing, he deceives himself.  
4 But alet each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and bnot in another.  
5 For aeach one shall bear his own load.  

Be Generous and Do Good

6 aLet him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.  
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for awhatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Galatians 6:4

Proverbs his own work - Let him examine himself and his conduct by the words and example of Christ; and if he find that they bear this touchstone, then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone, feeling that he resembles his Lord and Master, and not in another - not derive his consolation from comparing himself with another who may be weaker, or less instructed than himself. The only rule for a Christian is the word of Christ; the only pattern for his imitation is the example of Christ. He should not compare himself with others; they are not his standard. Christ hath left us an example that we should follow his steps.
