| DO WE BEAR OTHER'S BURDENS, OR ONLY OUR OWN? |
| Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil
the law of Christ. (KJV)
Galatians 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden. (KJV)
|
| The words translated as 'burden' are different in the two passages. 6:2 refers to "baros" (Strong's #922), which refers to weights that are difficult to carry. 6:5 refers to "phortion" (Strong's #5413) which refers to tasks or services, the day-to-day burdens that are not difficult to carry. Not a contradiction. |
