<p>6:5 <i>For each man shall carry his own burden</i>- I have argued on :2 that the burdens in view are those of keeping the Jewish Law. Even if we try to walk with others on their burdened, legalistic road- we may not succeed. And finally they will have to carry their own burdens.</p><p>By our words we will be justified or condemned. The false prophets were judged according to their words: &quot;Every man's word shall be his burden&quot; at the day of Babylonian judgment (Jer. 23:36). Gal. 6:5 alludes here in saying that at the judgment, every man shall bear his own burden- i.e., that of his own words. And those words, in the context, would have been statements and demands concerning obedience to law. These positions will be cited back to me at the day of judgment.</p>
