bearing each others burdens

²Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ.

¹And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted. ²Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ. ³For if anyone considers himself to be something, though he may be nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴So let each one prove his own work. And in this way, he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another. ⁵For each one shall carry his own burden. ⁶And let him who is being taught the Word discuss it with him who is teaching it to him, in every good way.

⁸But if anyone has no concern for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith, and he is worse than an unbeliever.

³⁰Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive. ³¹And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by. ³²And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by. ³³But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy. ³⁴And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him. ³⁵And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’

²⁴And let us be considerate of one another, so as to prompt ourselves to charity and to good works, ²⁵not deserting our assembly, as some are accustomed to do, but consoling one another, and even more so as you see that the day is approaching.

¹⁴For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

⁴Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others.

¹But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.
