George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Galatians 6:8

He that soweth in his flesh, &c. The apostle represents the flesh and the spirit like two fields, on which men sow good or bad seed, according to which they shall reap. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:6-11

6-11 Many excuse themselves from the work of religion, though they may make a show, and profess it. They may impose upon others, yet they deceive themselves if they think to impose upon God, who knows their hearts as well as actions; and as he cannot be deceived, so he will not be mocked. Our present time is seed time; in the other world we shall reap as we sow now. As there are two sorts of sowing, one to the flesh, and the other to the Spirit, so will the reckoning be hereafter. Those who... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Galatians 6:1-99

Galations 6 A CONTRAST SEEMS to be implied between verse 21 of chapter 5 and the first verse of chapter 6. The former contemplates those who are characterized by doing certain evil things. The latter speaks of a man being overtaken in an offence. Those who are characterized by evil will never enter the kingdom of God, whereas the man overtaken in evil is to be restored. It is taken for granted that he is a true believer. The appeal to restore such an one is addressed to “ye which are... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Galatians 6:6-10

The apostle urges unselfish service: v. 6. Let him that is taught in the Word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. v. 7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. v. 8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. v. 9. And let us not be weary in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. v. 10. As we... read more

More special Admonition to the Walk in the Spirit (to serving Love), or warning against excessive self-valuation and envious selfishness(Galatians 5:25 to Galatians 6:10.)(Epistle for the fifteenth Sunday after Trinity.)25If we live in [by]33 the Spirit, let us also walk in [by]34 the Spirit. 26Let us not be desirous of vain-glory [become vain-glorious], provoking one another, envying one another.a.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Galatians 6:1-10

Our Own and Others’ Burdens Galatians 6:1-10 The spirit of the world gloats over sin; the Spirit of Christ leads us to restore the sinner. Our first thought should never be of revenge or contempt, or of the adjustment of our own claims, but rather of how to help our fallen brother to regain his old place in the love of God. The memory of our own temptations and failures should make us very pitiful and tender. The Apostle does not speak, in this place, of premeditated sin, but of that by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Galatians 6:1-18

Having dealt with the conduct of liberty thus broadly, the apostle now made some detailed application of the principles enunciated, giving an important illustration pertinent to the whole question of the relation between himself and the Galatian Christians. They were to communicate to the necessity of the teachers in all things, remembering that God is not mocked. He is a God of law and order, and as the sowing is, so must be the reaping. The conclusion of the epistle opened with a personal... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Galatians 6:1-10

Rules for the Righteous Galatians 6:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. We have a message sent to saints. It is all in vain for the unsaved to seek to serve the Saviour. The wicked have never been called into fellowship with Christ in any line of work or witnessing. God demands, first of all, that Christ shall be enthroned in the life as Saviour. Our chapter opens with the word "Brethren." They are the ones to whom God now speaks, and they are the ones to whom God is now giving certain rules and... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:7

AN INEXORABLE LAW‘Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.’ Galatians 6:7 Every habit formed is seed sown. Our thoughts, our words, our deeds are all seed which, in the world to come, we shall reap, in sorrow or in joy.After all, is it not simply just? And for this reason, that a man sows what he likes, as he likes. As it is with the seed sown in the fields, so it is with our lives, a fixed law! Yet men ignore it: seem to hope that after all it may not be true. As well might a... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:7-8

‘Do not be deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh, will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life.’ This statement applies to the whole of Galatians 5:13 to Galatians 6:7. He has already given a stern warning in Galatians 5:21. Now he repeats it even more strongly. He warns them against the danger of being deceived, this time not by false teachers but by themselves.... read more
