Galatians 6:2-5

"2Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his own load."

Can someone explain to me why in verse 2 Paul tells us to carry each others burdens, and then in verse 5 tells us that we should carry our own load? Maybe I'm just not reading it in the correct context...Maybe he's saying that while we should encourage one another and keep each other accountable, in the end it is our own responsibility to follow the law of Christ. Idk.
