OET interlinear GAL 6:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀλλήλων τὰ βάρη βαστάζετε

˱of˲_one_another the burdens /be/_bearing

Paul speaks of the spiritual struggles of immature believers as if they were burdens that a person could carry. He means that mature Christians should patiently help spiritually weak Christians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “help one another overcome spiritual weakness”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀλλήλων τὰ βάρη

˱of˲_one_another the burdens

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of burdens, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “whatever burdens one another”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναπληρώσετε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀλλήλων τὰ βάρη βαστάζετε καὶ οὕτως ἀναπληρώσατε τὸν νόμον τοῦ Χριστοῦ)

Here, fulfill refers to obeying completely. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you will completely obey”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν νόμον τοῦ Χριστοῦ

the law ˱of˲_the Messiah

Here, the law of Christ most likely refers to Christ’s command to love one another in John 13:34, which Paul also refers to in 5:14. It does not refer to a set of rules or the laws that God gave the Jews. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “what Christ commands”
