He says in verse 2, Bear one another's burdens. Carry. In this instance we pointed out the word burdens means weightiness. It is a different Greek word then in verse 5. In verse 5 when it says, For every man shall bear his own burden, that is a different Greek word. And we have used a rhyme pair together so that we can know the difference. In verse 5 it is the freight, in verse 2 it is the weight. In other words, I have to carry my own freight. I carry the weight of my own weakness, my own sin, and my own struggles in this life. But there are times when I might need a brother to come along and say, "Here, let me give you a hand. Let me hold one of your arms. We will go it together for a while." You cannot carry my freight. But the weightiness of it - and the weightiness is represented by the grief, and the hardship, and the struggles that other Christians go through. Regarding that, Paul says, Bear one another's burdens.
