加拉太书 6:7-8 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived ( μὴ πλανᾶσθε ). So 1 Corinthians 6:9 ; 1 Corinthians 15:33 . Let nothing lead you astray from the conviction, that in the conformity of your real aims and actual practice with the dictates of God's Spirit, and in that alone, can you hope for eternal life. God is not mocked ( θεὸς οὐ μυκτηρίζεται ); God is not derided. The verb μυκτηρίζειν , to writhe the nostrils ( μυκτῆρας ) at one in scorn, to sneer at him, occurs frequently in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:7-8

The two sowings and the two reapings. The Galatians were probably disposed to find excuses for avoiding the responsibility of supporting their religious teachers. The apostle warns them of the danger of self-deception, and, above all, of the danger of imagining that a man may sow to the flesh and yet expect to reap the fruits of the Spirit. Mark— I. THE SOLEMN WARNING AGAINST SELF - DECEPTION . "Be not deceived; God is not mocked." Whether the self-deception arise from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:7-8

Sowing and reaping. The Galatians appear to have been niggardly in their contributions for the support of their Christian teachers (verse 6). St. Paul warns them that such conduct will tell against themselves (see Proverbs 11:24 ). The principle on which he bases his admonition is one of deep significance and wide application. No doubt the apostle wished it to be impressed upon his readers in all its bearings as well as in relation to the particular case that led him to mention it. I.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:8

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption ( ὅτι ὁ σπείρων εἰς τὴν σάρκα ἑαυτοῦ ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς θερίσει φθοράν ); for he that soweth unto his own flesh , shall of the flesh reap corruption. "Fort" the causal force of the particle ὅτι , properly "because," is here greatly attenuated, being employed to introduce a sentence commending to acceptance the foregoing one, simply by a detailed exposition of particulars illustrating its meaning. This is... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived - That is, in regard to your character, and your hopes for eternity. This is a formula of introduction to some admonition that is especially weighty and important. It implies that there was danger that they would be deceived in reference to their character. The sources of the danger were the corruption of their own hearts, the difficulty of knowing their true character, the instructions of false teachers, etc.; see the note at 1 Corinthians 6:9.God is not mocked - He cannot be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 6:8

For he that soweth to his flesh - That makes provision for the indulgence of fleshly appetites and passions; see the notes at Galatians 5:19-21. He who makes use of his property to give indulgence to licentiousness, intemperance, and vanity.Shall of the flesh - From the flesh, or as that which indulgence in fleshly appetites properly produces. Punishment, under the divine government, is commonly in the line of offences. The punishment of licentiousness and intemperance in this life is commonly... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 6:7-8

Galatians 6:7-8. Be not deceived As if he had said, It is an easy thing for interested men to find excuses for the neglect of this and other liberalities, which are required for the support and propagation of the gospel of Christ; but do not delude yourselves in this or any other such matter, by the treachery of your own hearts, which may more fatally impose upon yourselves than upon any others. For God Who searches all hearts, and observes all external circumstances; is not mocked Or,... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 6:1-10

Some Christian responsibilities (6:1-10)When they live by the Spirit’s power, believers will want to be of spiritual help to others. They will not be harshly critical when they see other believers caught in wrongdoing, but will feel the sorrow of others as if it were their own. They will remember how easily anyone can be overcome by temptation (6:1-2). People are foolish when they compare themselves with others in order to feel satisfied about their own spirituality. Each person is answerable... read more
