Work for the Good of All (6:1–10)

This section, in every verse, includes exhortations, which are related to the particular needs of the churches in Galatia.{{sfn|Stanton|2007|p=1164}}

Verse 2

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.^[1]

"Bear one another's burdens": can be done by gentle reprove, by comforting those stressed with guilt, by sympathizing in others' sorrow, by praying to God to manifest his pardoning grace, by forgiving other people, when they committed faults, or by accommodating their weakness, by administering help and relief, whether temporal or spiritual, and bear a part with them in their griefs.^[2]

"Fulfil the law of Christ": To "fulfill" here to "do" or to "act" in obedience. "The Law of Christ" is "to love one another" ({{bibleverse|John|13:34-35|NKJV}}) in contrast to "the law of Moses". In Judaism, as "Christ" means "Messiah", the so-called "law of the Messiah" is considered preferable to any other.^[2]^[3]

Conclusion (6:11–18)

Unlike other epistles, Paul does not include personal greetings in the end of the epistle. Nonetheless, this part holds the summary and "the hermeneutical key to the whole letter",^[4] consisting some key points already discussed previously, but here are emphasized again, such as the topic of 'the new creation' with abolished distinction between the circumcised and uncircumcised.{{sfn|Stanton|2007|pp=1164-1165}}
