Bear and Share the Burdens

1 Brethren, if a man is1 overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of agentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.  
2 aBear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill bthe law of Christ.  
3 For aif anyone thinks himself to be something, when bhe is nothing, he deceives himself.  
4 But alet each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and bnot in another.  
5 For aeach one shall bear his own load.

Galatians 6:2

Bear ye one another' s burdens - Have sympathy; feel for each other; and consider the case of a distressed brother as your own.

And so fulfill the law of Christ - That law or commandment, Ye shall love one another; or that, Do unto all men as ye would they should do unto you. We should be as indulgent to the infirmities of others, as we can be consistently with truth and righteousness: our brother' s infirmity may be his burden; and if we do not choose to help him to bear it, let us not reproach him because he is obliged to carry the load.
