2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Law
νόμον (nomon)

Strong's 3551: From a primary nemo; law, genitive case, specially, (including the volume); also of the Gospel), or figuratively.

Paul alluded to it in 1 Corinthians 9:

21 To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.
under [the] law

Paul contrasted the law of Moses and the law of Christ. The law of Christ consisted of the commands of Jesus, particularly John 13:

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
