Laste / Burdens

Thought for today: Bear ye one another's burdens...
Gedagte vir vandag: Dra mekaar se laste...

Gal 6:2-10


Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.




Dra mekaar se laste en vervul so die wet van Christus. Want as iemand meen dat hy iets is, terwyl hy niks is nie, mislei hy homself. Maar laat elkeen sy eie werk op die proef stel; en dan sal hy grond vir roem hĂȘ alleen wat homself betref en nie wat die ander betref nie. Want elkeen sal sy eie pak dra. Maar laat hom wat in die Woord onderwys ontvang, meedeel van alle goeie dinge aan hom wat onderwys gee. Moenie dwaal nie; God laat Hom nie bespot nie; want net wat die mens saai, dit sal hy ook maai. Hy wat in sy vlees saai, sal uit die vlees verderf maai; maar hy wat in die Gees saai, sal uit die Gees die ewige lewe maai. En laat ons nie moeg word om goed te doen nie, want op die regte tyd sal ons maai as ons nie verslap nie. Laat ons dan, terwyl ons geleentheid het, aan almal goed doen, maar die meeste aan die huisgenote van die geloof.



Gal 6:2 - Bear ye one another's burdens - Sympathize with, and assist, each other, in all your weaknesses, grievances, trials. And so fulfil the law of Christ - The law of Christ (an uncommon expression) is the law of love: this our Lord peculiarly recommends; this he makes the distinguishing mark of his disciples. (Wesley)
