Bear

For each person will have to carry his own load.

For you were called to be free, brothers; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.

“If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying helpless under its load, and you want to refrain from helping it, you must help with it.

So Moses asked the Lord, “Why have You brought such trouble on Your servant? Why are You angry with me, and why do You burden me with all these people?

But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes by myself?

Isn’t the fast I choose:
To break the chains of wickedness,
to untie the ropes of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free,
and to tear off every yoke?

so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

He Himself took our weaknesses
and carried our diseases.

All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.

Then He said: “Woe also to you experts in the law! You load people with burdens that are hard to carry, yet you yourselves don’t touch these burdens with one of your fingers.

Now we who are strong have an obligation to bear the weaknesses of those without strength, and not to please ourselves.

And we exhort you, brothers: warn those who are irresponsible, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

He Himself bore our sins
in His body on the tree,
so that, having died to sins,
we might live for righteousness;
you have been healed by His wounds.

The law

So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

This is My command: Love one another as I have loved you.

To those who are without that law, like one without the law—not being without God’s law but within Christ’s law—to win those without the law.

Indeed, if you keep the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself,

you are doing well.

Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

And we have this command from Him: The one who loves God must also love his brother.
