Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Galatians 6:2

"Bear ye one another`s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2 (ASV)

The second practical example of spirituality is the bearing of one another’s burdens. Paul refers to helping other Christians—sharing their load—whenever temptations oppress them or life depresses them. Here Paul deliberately returns to the thought of love being the fulfillment of the law, for the “law of Christ” is the new commandment fulfilled in part by such actions. The burdens we do impose on ourselves should be the burdens of mutual sympathy.
