Gal 6:5

6:5 load. This is a different Greek word from the “burden” of v. 2, signaling a shift in the metaphor. Paul encouraged Christians to help others with the “burden” of overcoming temptation (v. 2). Here Paul means that we should not take pride in how much better we are than others, for God alone is our Judge.
