Galatians 6:2

Galatians 6:2

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.

Bear ye one another's burdens (allhlwn ta barh bastazete). Keep on bearing (present active imperative of bastazw, old word, used of Jesus bearing his Cross in John 19:17. Barov means weight as in Matthew 20:12; II Corinthians 4:17. It is when one's load (fortion, verse Galatians 6:5) is about to press one down. Then give help in carrying it.

Fulfil (anaplhrwsate). First aorist active imperative of anaplhrow, to fill up, old word, and see on Matthew 23:32; I Thessalonians 2:16; I Corinthians 14:16. Some MSS. have future indicative (anaplhrwsete).
