Galatians 6:2
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.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
