Verse 6 is a very important application of the truths of verses 2-5 which have gone before it; that of bearing one another’s burdens and thus fulfilling the law of Christ; that of each one examining their own work, and that of each one bearing their own burden. This application speaks of the one being taught, sharing in all good things with him who teaches. What does this mean?

And 3rd – This sharing should have the right motivation behind it; that of our love for the man whom God has raised up to instruct us in the good things of the word of God.
