4. But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.

Galatians 6 deals with the importance of helping and encouraging each other in the Christian community, as well as the importance of planting spiritual seeds that result in eternal harvests. The chapter also addresses the need for each person to take responsibility for their own actions and not compare with others. Here are five verses related to these themes:
Philippians 2:4 - "Do not have each in view of their own interest, but also the interest of others." This verse emphasizes the importance of putting others first and helping each other in the Christian community, which is an important theme in Galatians 6.
Romans 12:15 - "Rejoice with those who rejoice; cry with those who cry." Here Paul is urging Christians to care about the emotions and situations of others and to be present to help them, regardless of their circumstances.
John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the sticks. Who remains in me and me in him, gives a lot of fruit; for without me you can do it." This verse highlights the importance of remaining in Christ to produce spiritual fruits and grow in our faith, a theme addressed in Galatians 6.
1 Peter 5:5 - "Similarly you, young, thirst subject to the elders; and thirst all subject to each other, and coat of humility, because God resists the superb, but gives grace to the humble." This verse emphasizes the importance of humility and submission to others rather than comparing ourselves and boasting, as approached in Galatians 6.
James 5:16 - "Confess, therefore, your sins to each other, and pray for each other, to be healed. Much can, by its effectiveness, the plea of the righteous." Here James is encouraging Christians to confess their sins to each other and pray for each other, highlighting the importance of personal responsibility and mutual help in the Christian community.
