 Bear ye one another's burdens ( αλληλων τα βαρη βασταζετε ). Keep on bearing (present active imperative of  βασταζω, old word, used of Jesus bearing his Cross in Joh 19:17.  Βαρος means weight as in Mt 20:12; 2Co 4:17. It is when one's load ( φορτιον, verse 5) is about to press one down. Then give help in carrying it.

 Fulfil ( αναπληρωσατε ). First aorist active imperative of  αναπληροω, to fill up, old word, and see on Mt 23:32; 1Th 2:16; 1Co 14:16. Some MSS. have future indicative ( αναπληρωσετε ).
