Those walking by the Spirit are to restore sinning fellow believers.

那些凭圣灵行事的人会挽回有罪的同伴。

God never intended that the spiritual walk be an end in itself. Instead, He wants believers to have a positive influence on fellow believers so that the church will be purified and built up. Galatians 6:1 reveals how those who walk by the Spirit ought to minister to others within the Body of Christ. Paul says they are to restore other brothers and sisters who might have fallen into sin.

神从未打算属灵修行本身就是目的。相反，神想让信徒们对其同伴有种正面的影响力，以致教会被洁净并建立起来。加拉太书6：1揭示出那些凭圣灵行事的人如何理当帮助其他基督身体里的肢体。保罗说他们要去挽回其他可能落在罪中的弟兄和姐妹。

“Caught in any trespass” denotes falling into a sin and becoming bound by it, just as an animal might become caught in a trap. Whenever another believer we know gets ensnared by any sin—no exception—the Holy Spirit wants “you who are spiritual” to seek his or her restoration. The “spiritual” designation does not refer to some elite class of Christians but simply includes anyone who is walking by the Spirit.

“被过犯所胜”表示落在罪中，并为罪所捆绑，就像一头野兽被陷阱套住。每当我们认识的另一位信徒被某样罪捕获—没有例外—圣灵想要“你们属灵的人”努力将她或他挽回。“属灵的”这一称呼指定并非指着某些基督徒精英阶层，简而言之，是包括每一位凭圣灵行事的人。

The one who is spiritual and is relying on the Spirit’s wisdom and guidance will restore the sinning believer with patience. The Greek verb in Galatians 6:1 translated “restore” strongly implies that spiritual restoration will need to be a methodical, persevering process. (The Greek originally referred to the mending of fishing nets or the realigning of a frame or joint.)

一个属灵的且倚靠圣灵的智慧和指引的人，会很有耐心去挽回犯罪的信徒。加拉太书6：1中“挽回”一词，希腊原文强烈蕴含着属灵的挽回需要是一个有条不紊、不屈不挠的过程。（希腊文原指修补鱼网或重新较正一幅画框或接合处。）

The verse further indicates that we must approach the entire restoration process with “gentleness.” As believers who have this fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:23), such an approach should be almost automatic for us. But since we are merely sinners saved by grace, we need Galatians 6:1 and other reminders of the right way to restore a sinning brother or sister: “And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother” (2 Thess. 3:15).

本节经文进一步指示要带着“温柔”着手整个挽回过程。作为有此圣灵果子的信徒（加5：23），对我们而言，这样一个着手挽回应是自动的行为。然而，由于我们只是靠恩典得救的罪人，我们需要加拉太书6：1以及其他正确方式的提醒，去挽回一位犯罪的弟兄或姐妹：“但不要以他为仇人，要劝他如弟兄”（帖后3：15）。

Pray that your church leaders would be faithful in confronting and seeking to restore those members who fall into sin.

向神祷告，你们教会的领袖会忠实地面对并努力挽回那些落入罪中的会员。
