"Carry the Burdens"

Our scripture today is from Galatians, chapter 5 verse 22 through chapter 6 verse 3 from the Common English Bible.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against things like this. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified self with its passions and its desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let's follow the Spirit. 26 Let's not become arrogant, make each other angry, or be jealous of each other. 1 Brothers and sisters, if a person is caught doing something wrong, you who are spiritual should restore someone like this with a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourselves so you won't be tempted too. 2 Carry each other's burdens and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are important when they aren't, they're fooling themselves.

Leader: This is the word of God for a people of God.
