Fulfill the Law of Christ -- not Fulfill But Complete
Galatians 6:2
Bear you one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.


He says not "fulfil," but "complete;" i.e., make it up all of you in common by the things wherein ye bear with one another. This man is irascible, thou art dull-tempered; bear therefore with his vehemence, that he in turn may bear with thy sluggishness; and thus neither will he, through thy support, transgress, nor wilt thou offend in the points where thy defects lie, through thy brother's forbearance. So do ye reach forth a hand one to another when about to fall, and one with another fulfil the law in common, each completing what is wanting in his neighbour by his own endurance.

( Chrysostom.)
