'Burden' in the Bible
because my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light."
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any burden but these essential requirements:
When I was with you and needed something, I did not bother any of you, because our brothers who came from Macedonia supplied everything I needed. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
Besides everything else, I have a daily burden because of my anxiety about all the churches.
Granting that I have not been a burden to you, was I a clever schemer who trapped you by some trick?
Brothers, you remember our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not become a burden to any of you while we proclaimed the gospel of God to you.
We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, with toil and labor we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.
"But as for the rest of you in Thyatira you who do not hold to this teaching and who have not learned what some people call the deep things of Satan I won't burden you with anything else.
