5 Every one shall bear.) To the end he may shake off from us sloth and disdain, he setteth before us the judgement of GOD: where every one severally shall give an account of his life without comparing. For this is it that deceiveth us: for that a poor blind man among blind men seemeth to himself to be well sighted, and he that is brown among black men thinketh himself white. He denieth that these imaginations shall have any place in the judgement of God: because every one shall there bear his own burden, and shall not acquit one another from their sins. this is the very right meaning of Paul.
5 Euery one shall beare.) To the end he maye shake off from vs slouth and disdaine, he setteth before vs the iudgemente of GOD: where euery one seuerallye shall giue an accounte of his life without comparing. For this is it that deceiueth vs: for that a poore blinde man among blinde men seemeth to himselfe to bee well sighted, and he that is browne among blacke men thinketh himselfe white. He denyeth that these imaginations shall haue any place in the iudgement of God: because euerye one shall there beare his owne burthen, and shal not acquite one another from their sinnes. this is the verye righte meaning of Paule.
6 Let him which is taught in the word, minister unto him which teacheth, in all good things. 7 Be ye not deceived, God is not mocked. for that which a man soweth, that also shall he reap. 8 For he that soweth for flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth for the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life everlasting. 9 But let us not be weary with doing that which is good. for if we shrink not, we shall reap in due time. 10 Therefore where as we have time, let us do well towards all▪ but specially toward them who are of the household of faith.
