Brothers, I will use an illustration from the way people deal with each other: Even though an agreement is made between people, once it is finally settled, no one can cancel it or include additional provisions to it.

For you brothers were called [by God] to enjoy your freedom; but do not use this freedom as an excuse for living a sinful life; instead, use it to render loving service to each other.

But let each person test his own accomplishments so that he can determine if he should get credit for them or if his neighbor should.

For each person should shoulder the responsibility of his own work load.
