6:1Brothers, also if-ever a man may be taken-beforehand in some falling-aside, you, the spiritual-people, must fully-equip the person-of-this-kind in (the) spirit of meekness – scoping yourself (that) also you may not be tempted!
Brothers – again as Paul continues teaching in this letter, he addresses the Galatian holy-people (sanctified-people, Christians, saints, children of God) as "brothers" reminding them that they, including Paul, were all brothers because they all had received the same gift of holy-spirit from God by means of the Lord Jesus Christ when they first believed what God says regarding Himself and His son, the Lord Jesus Christ (refer to Romans 10:8-10).
Brothers, if it should ever happen that a man, who is a holy-person, would be taken-beforehand in some falling-aside (taken by something before or in-advance-of another, caused to receive what is given to him that is within some falling-aside from the truth of God's Word (from what is right), sooner-than another holy-person), then you spiritual people (you who are being receptive to and walking in accordance with your holy spirit-life) must presently and actively fully-equip the person of this sort (put such a holy-person down in a fitting, straight, right order, frame the pieces together, fit-out restoring him to the proper condition of walking-in-line-with holy spirit), and you do this within the sphere of action of the spirit characterized-by, energizing and manifesting meekness (that tender-receptiveness or receptivity towards God and the things of God).
You must fully-equip the person-of-this-kind in the spirit of meekness – and while any one of you is doing this, you must be scoping yourself (looking intensely at as a target so as to determine your own action carefully) for the purpose that also you would not be tempted (made trial-of or tried in the bad sense of being put to the test with ill-intent being enticed to also do wrong and fall-aside from the truth of God's Word during that specific situation)!
The only true God does not tempt anyone to go against His Word. It is the devil (satan) who tempts with evil. Of course none of us can force another person to accept and believe God's Word because it is up to his/her own freedom of will, but you must do your part during this situation according to what God says, whatever the reaction may be from the person who has already fallen-aside.
