Galatians 6:4-6

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^3-4 If a man thinks he is “somebody”, he is deceiving himself, for that very thought proves that he is nobody. Let every man learn to assess properly the value of his own work and he can then be glad when he has done something worth doing without dependence on the approval of others.

⁵ For every man must “shoulder his own pack”.

⁶ The man under Christian instruction should be willing to contribute towards the livelihood of his teacher.
