A.Restore Him Gently, Carrying Your Own Loadvv. 1-5
1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else. 5 For each one should carry his own load.
B.Whatever a Man Sows: Do Not Grow Wearyvv. 6-10
6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. 8 The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
C.See These Large Letters: I Boast Only in the Crossvv. 11-18
11 See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand! 12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God. 17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Let us not be weary in well doing; in due season we shall reap. Paul writes the closing with his own hand: God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ Jesus, neither circumcision availeth, but a new creature. Henry reads the chapter as the epistle's ethical coda, anchored to the cross.
