In Chapter 6, how do you reconcile "carrying each other's burdens", with verse 5 that says, "each one should carry his own load?"
922 báros – properly, a weight; (figuratively) real substance (what has value, significance), i.e. carries personal and eternal significance.
5413 phortíon – properly, a burden which must be carried by the individual, i.e. as something personal and hence is not transferrable, i.e. it cannot "be shifted" to someone else.
