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

Galatians 6:7-8Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.The present seed-sowing, decisive of the future harvestAnd I suppose, that nature is full of spiritual instruction, in all its subdivisions and departments, if we had but an eye to see it. And for anything I know, it may be as much the purpose and design of God, to teach us by all the objects and operations in His world and in His works round about us, as it was the object and design of God... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Galatians 6:7

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Ver. 7. Be not deceived ] Think not all well saved that is withheld from the minister. It is a saying in the civil law, Clericis Laici sunt oppido infensi; many think it neither sin nor pity to beguile the preacher. But God is not mocked, neither will he be robbed by any, but they shall hear, Ye are cursed with a curse, Malachi 3:8-9 , even with Shallum’s curse,Jeremiah 22:11-13; Jeremiah 22:11-13 ,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Galatians 6:8

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. Ver. 8. For he that soweth to his flesh ] He that neglecting his poor soul, cares only to feather his nest and to heap up riches. Si ventri bene, si lateri, as Epicurus in Horace; if the belly may be filled, the back fitted, let the soul sink or swim, he takes no thought. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:7

7. Be not deceived Beware how you work amiss. Mocked God cannot be put off with lazy not-doing, or hypocritical mis-doing. Mocked is derived from the contemptuous turning up the nose at one. God is in earnest, and will hold the nondoer and misdoer to a strict account. He will hold all such as showing contempt to himself. Soweth… reap An expressive image of human responsibility, which has been noted by thoughtful men of all ages. As according to the seed we sow is the harvest we... read more
