Galatians 6:3

For if anyone thinks (believes) he is something when he is nothing [thinks he is superior to others and does not want to bear his brother's burden], he deceives himself.
[The Greek word for burden in verse 2 is baros – a heavy weight or stone that someone must carry for a long distance. It became a term used to describe hard work and difficult situations, as in, for example, Matt. 20:12 where Jesus speaks of the vineyard workers who toiled in the heat all day long. Here the emphasis is on "each other's burdens." Paul writes that one can deceive oneself – the word has a basic meaning in its noun form "one who misleads the mind," i.e., someone who misleads the way of thinking.]
