Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 6:9-10

Galatians 6:9-10. And Having then such a prospect of felicity before us; let us not be weary Greek, μη εκκακωμεν , let us not be discouraged, or flag; in well-doing Or in sowing to the Spirit, whatever labour and fatigue, whatever expense and difficulty, it may be attended with; for in due season When the harvest is come, or in that proper time which the wisdom and goodness of God hath appointed, and for which it is our duty and interest patiently to wait; we shall reap Abundant... read more

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 6:10

So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.The badge of Christian behavior is that of positive good toward all on earth. "Work that which is good ..." Strange that Paul should have mentioned this, especially if he had been advocating for five chapters that "works" do not have anything to do with salvation! Of course, the meaning in those previous chapters refers to the works of the Law of... read more

Galatians 6:10. Unto them who are of the household of faith.— "To them who are united to us in the bonds of Christian faith and love; and who, on that account, as belonging to one family, and heirs of the same hope, have certainly the first claim to our regard and assistance." read more

10. Translate, "So then, according as (that is, in proportion as) we have season (that is, opportunity), let us work (a distinct Greek verb from that for "do," in Galatians 6:9) that which is (in each case) good." As thou art able, and while thou art able, and when thou art able (Galatians 6:9- :). We have now the "season" for sowing, as also there will be hereafter the "due season" (Galatians 6:9- :) for reaping. The whole life is, in one sense, the "seasonable opportunity" to us: and, in a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 6:1-10

B. Responsibilities of the Christian life 6:1-10Being free from the Mosaic Law does not mean being free from responsibility. In this section Paul explained various responsibilities that Christians have to one another to clarify the will of God for his readers. Manifesting the fruit of the Spirit is not a mystical experience. Paul said spirituality is evident in personal relationships (Galatians 6:1-5) and in the use of money (Galatians 6:6-10). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 6:10

4. Toward all people 6:10Christians have a responsibility to do what is good to all people, including the unsaved. We have a special responsibility to other Christians as we have opportunity, as we hear of a need and have the resources to help. As in a home, family needs come first, then those of the neighbors."Every poor and distressed man had [sic] a claim on me for pity, and, if I can afford it, for active exertion and pecuniary relief. But a poor Christian has a far stronger claim on my... read more
