Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Galatians 6:2

_ _ If ye, legalists, must “bear burdens,” then instead of legal burdens (Matthew 23:4), “bear one another’s burdens,” literally, “weights.” Distinguished by Bengel from “burden,” Galatians 6:4 (a different Greek word, “load”): “weights” exceed the strength of those under them; “burden” is proportioned to the strength.

_ _ so fulfil — or as other old manuscripts read, “so ye will fulfil,” Greek, “fill up,” “thoroughly fulfil.”

_ _ the law of Christ — namely, “love” (Galatians 5:14). Since ye desire “the law,” then fulfil the law of Christ, which is not made up of various minute observances, but whose sole “burden” is “love” (John 13:34; John 15:12); Romans 15:3 gives Christ as the example in the particular duty here.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 6:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Galatians 6:2

Bear ye one another's burdens — Sympathize with, and assist, each other, in all your weaknesses, grievances, trials. And so fulfil the law of Christ — The law of Christ (an uncommon expression) is the law of love: this our Lord peculiarly recommends; this he makes the distinguishing mark of his disciples.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Galatians 6:2

(3) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the (e) law of Christ.

(3) He shows that this is the end of rebukes, to raise up our brother who is fallen, and not proudly to oppress him. Therefore every one must seek to have praise of his own life by approving himself, and not by rebuking others.

(e) Christ, in plain and clear words, calls the commandment of charity his commandment.
