Thematic Bible: Burden


Thematic Bible




Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, do you, who are spiritual, restore him with all gentleness, taking heed lest you yourselves be overcome by temptation. bear with one another's infirmities, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Believe in me, all ye that labour under oppression, and I will give you relief. take my yoke upon you, and learn to be meek like me, and of an humble temper: and ye shall enjoy tranquillity of mind. for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I add, we that are better inform'd ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not study our own pleasure. let every one of us consult the good of his neighbour to his edification. for even Christ did not consult his own satisfaction; but as it is written, "the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me."
