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 6:10

As we have therefore opportunity; as we have objects before us, or as God gives us time and ability. Let us do good unto all men; let it be our business to harm none, but to supply the necessities of all men; either with our spiritual advice and counsels, with all the assistance we can give them that may any way be of spiritual profit or advantage to them; or with our worldly goods, ministering to their necessities. Especially unto them who are of the household of faith; but all in an order,... read more

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.

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 6:10

Galatians 6:10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men.Opportunity, man’s treasureIf time be as “the grass,” fading and fleeting, opportunity is as “the flower of the grass,” more fading, as it is more beautiful and valuable. In the ordinary transactions and affairs of life, as well as in natural things, of how much importance is that juncture of concurrent circumstances which we style opportunity. Opportunity, even in natural things, when once lost, can never be recalled.... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Galatians 6:10

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.Therefore as we have opportunity — At whatever time or place, and in whatever manner we can. The opportunity in general is our lifetime; but there are also many particular opportunities. Satan is quickened in doing hurt, by the shortness of the time, Revelation 12:12. By the same consideration let us be quickened in doing good.Let us do good — In every possible kind, and in... read more
