Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:7-10

Galatians 6:7-2 Samuel : . Last safeguard: the natural law of God’ s universe stands. Those who propose to make the gospel of grace an excuse for laxity think they can laugh in their sleeves at the Creator, but “ You’ ve gut to git up airly Ef you want to take in God.” No sowing without reaping, and no reaping without sowing— one kind or the other; to flesh or to spirit. Patience only is needed in continuing to “ sow to the spirit” and to “ do well.” Galatians 6:10 returns in a broader way... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 6:9

Let us not be weary in well doing: we have the same precept, 2 Thessalonians 3:13. As the not executing of judgment speedily imboldens sinners, and encourageth them to go on in courses of sin, so God’s delaying the rewards of the righteous, often proveth a temptation to good men to be weary of well doing. Against this the apostle cautioneth us here, by minding us, that there is a due season for all things (which is best known to the wise God); and assuring us, that though, as we see not the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 6:6-10

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 6:6. Communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.—Go shares with him in the good things of this life. While each bears his own burden he must think of others, especially in ministering out of his earthly goods to the wants of his spiritual teacher (see 2 Corinthians 11:7; 2 Corinthians 11:11; Philippians 4:10; 1 Thessalonians 2:6; 1 Thessalonians 2:9; 1 Timothy 5:17-18).Galatians 6:7.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 6:9

Galatians 6:9 Unweariedness in Well-doing. Let us not be weary in welldoing in consequence of I. The rivalry of other workers. (1) Note the undying activity of the world. There is no mercy for the half-hearted man; he is quickly jostled off the racecourse or crushed to pieces upon it. When a worker has become weary, and can no longer hurry forward or labour at his calling, the world perhaps pauses a moment to push him out of its way, chuckles at the vacant space or released capital, closes over... read more

DISCOURSE: 2090STEADFASTNESS IN DUTIESGalatians 6:9. Let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.THE way of duty is difficult, while that of sin is easy [Note: A learned prelate speaks admirably to this purpose:—“Vice is first pleasing; then easy; then delightful; then frequent; then habitual; then confirmed: then the man is impenitent; then he is obstinate; then he resolves never to repent; and then he is damned.” Jer. Taylor’s Serm. p. 260.]. After we... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Galatians 6:1-18

Chapter 6Bretheren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted ( Galatians 6:1 ).The Bible does seem to make a distinction between sins and faults, though I think that the distinction is probably quite narrow. But James said that "if there's any sick among you, let him call for the elders of the church and let them anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 6:1-18

Galatians 6:1 . If a man, a brother, be overtaken in a fault, by wine, or passion, or some indiscretion, through surprise, or when off his guard. The offender is a brother, who when so overtaken confesses his fault, and avows his sorrow. Now, to rebuke him with anger, and treat him with rigour, is not doing as we would wish to be dealt by; and if we so treat him, how keen and how just would his reproaches be, if we ourselves should fall into the same sin. Truly this is an eloquent and... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Galatians 6:9

Galatians 6:9And let us not be weary in well doing.Perserverance in religious dutiesThe path of duty is often found to be the path of difficulty and discouragement. Efforts to do good are often misunderstood and ill-requited; benevolent plans are ridiculed, motives misrepresented, kindness of heart abused, hopes of success treated as visionary and absurd. Still the conscientious, right-minded, true servant of God is a man of determination; he acts from principle, not impulse; his heart is in... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Galatians 6:9

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Ver. 9. And let us not be weary ] Let us not give in as tired jades, εκκακωμεν ; hot at hand seldom holds out. Let us not slack our pace in religion, let not our tears begin to freeze; for this, if it doth not lose, yet it may lessen and lighten our crown.
