Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Galatians 6:5

_ _ For (by this way, Galatians 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 Galatians 6:2. This verse does not contradict Galatians 6:2. There he tells them to bear with others’ “burdens” of infirmity in sympathy; here, that self-examination will make a man to feel he has enough to do with “his own load” of sin, without comparing himself boastfully with his neighbor. Compare Galatians 6:3. Instead of “thinking himself to be something,” he shall feel the “load” of his own sin: and this will lead him to bear sympathetically with his neighbor’s burden of infirmity. Aesop says a man carries two bags over his shoulder, the one with his own sins hanging behind, that with his neighbor’s sins in front.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 6:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Galatians 6:5

(4) For every man shall bear his own burden.

(4) A reason why men ought to carefully watch themselves not others, because every man will be judged before God according to his own life, and not by comparing himself with other men.
