Examine Our Work and Bear Our Load

Galatians 6:4-5 NASB
4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
5 For each one shall bear his own load.

What contrast word begins the fourth verse?
So, what do you think is in contrast to each one examining his or her own work?
What is the person described in verse 3 doing?
What attitudes might this person have that Paul discussed in Galatians 5:26?
Why would it be necessary for such a person to lay aside these attitudes if he or she is going to be a burden bearer?
What remedy does Paul offer in verse four for getting rid of those conceited feelings?
What shouldn't we be doing when we test our own work?
Paul says that the one who examines his own work will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone.
What did Paul mean by boasting?
Didn't he just say in 5:26 that we should not become boastful?
Let's look up "boasting" and "boastful" in Strong's to see what we learn.

Boasting from Gal. 6:4 KJV--rejoicing G2745 kauchema glorying, rejoicing
Boastful from Gal. 5:26 KJV--desirous of vain glory G2755 kenodoxos vainly glorifying

So, when Paul says that we should examine our own work, we see what God has done in our lives, and we can glorify God. If we're comparing our work to the work of others, what are we seeking to do?

What does Paul say that each one shall have to bear?
Is this the same "bear" that Paul used in Galatians 6:2? If you look up "bear" in Strong's, you find that in both instances the same Greek word was used--bastazo--meaning "to lift."
Didn't Paul just say in Gal. 6:2 that we're supposed to bear one another's burdens? Why is he saying now that we should bear our own load? In the KJV, "load" is translated "burden." Let's look at these two words to see if they came from the same Greek word.

Gal. 6:5 load KJV--burden G5413 phortion an invoice (as part of freight), (fig.) task, service
Gal. 6:2 burdens G922 baros weight

The latter refers to heavy, crushing weight, that which is too much for a person.
The first refers to the responsibilities that each Christian is given by God.
Read Galatians 5:16.
What specific advice has Paul given us today for being able to do that?
If we examine our own work and bear our own load, what part of Galatians 6:1 are we doing and what part of 6:1 will we be enabled to do?
