Fellowship - bring to mind casual conversation or other lightweight associations

Greek word for fellowship is koinonia = to partnership and deep involvement
Word also defined as "sharing together in the common life"

Word used outside of NT to describe marriage

The root word - Koinon = "common" or "in common"

Galatians 6:1-2

• NT letter deal with relationships more than any other subject
• Carry each other's burden - burdens produced by sin
• Christians are to be involved to know what sin's others are struggling to overcome
• Helping your brother to overcome a sin is a fulfillment of the principle of Christ
• Jesus carried our burden - Isaiah 53:4-6; 1 Peter 2:24
