Galatians 6:5
For each one should carry his own load.
BSB
ASV
For each man shall bear his own burden.
KJV
For every man shall bear his own burden.
EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 3.6.5 (420)
This seems to contradict the words above. … But one must see that he was there telling us, as sinners in the present life, to support one another and be a help to one another in the present age. Here he is speaking of the Lord's judgment of us, which is not based on the sin of another or by comparison with others but according to one's own work.
For every man shall bear his own burden - This seems to be a kind of proverbial saying; and it means here, every man shall have his proper reward. If he is a virtuous man, he will be happy; if a vicious man, he will be miserable. If a virtuous man, he will have the source of happiness in himself; if a sinner, he must bear the proper penalty of his sin. In the great day every man shall be properly rewarded.
For (by this way, Ga 6:4, of proving himself, not depreciating his neighbor by comparison) each man shall bear his own "burden," or rather, "load" (namely, of sin and infirmity), the Greek being different from that in Ga 6:2.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
