Galatians 6:9

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 6:9

And let us not be weary in welldoing - See the note at 1 Corinthians 15:58. The reference here is particularly to the support of the ministers of religion Galatians 6:6, but the apostle makes the exhortation general. Christians sometimes become weary. There is so much opposition to the best plans for doing good; there is so much to be done; there are so many calls on their time and their charities; and there is often so much ingratitude among those whom they endeavor to benefit, that they... 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 6:9

And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.Be not weary in well doing ... This is No. 4, being an undeniable component of the Law of Christ who went about doing good (Matthew 21:15). How could any man imitate Paul as he imitated Christ without doing good? This touches the principal practical business of Christians on earth. It is amazing how little regard some seem to have for it.In due season we shall reap if we faint not ... For discussion of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Galatians 6:9

9. ( :-). And when we do good, let us also persevere in it without fainting. in due season—in its own proper season, God's own time ( :-). faint not—literally, "be relaxed." Stronger than "be not weary." Weary of well-doing refers to the will; "faint not" to relaxation of the powers [BENGEL]. No one should faint, as in an earthly harvest sometimes happens. 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 6:7-9

If a person selfishly withholds what he has, he will not see God multiply it and bless him with it. If he follows the prompting of his sinful nature in his investments, he will reap death, but if he follows the Spirit, he will reap life. This is not saying he will necessarily die but that his sowing will yield a disappointing harvest. Neither is it saying that he can earn justification. It is saying that his sowing will yield the best harvest. Our harvest will suffer if we grow weary and stop... read more
