Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 6:10

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men - This is the true rule about doing good. “The opportunity to do good,” said Cotton Mather, “imposes the obligation to do it.” The simple rule is, that we are favored with the opportunity, and that we have the power. It is not that we are to do it when it is convenient; or when it will advance the interest of a party; or when it may contribute to our fame; the rule is, that we are to do it when we have the opportunity. No matter how... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 6:1

Galatians 6:1. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in Greek, προληφθη , surprised into; a fault Through his ignorance, inattention, or the stress of temptation, not considering sufficiently what he is going to do; ye who are spiritual Who have received the Spirit of truth, grace, and wisdom, and who continue to live and walk by and in the Spirit; restore such a one By reproof, instruction, or exhortation. Every one who can, ought to help therein; only in the spirit of meekness ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 6:2-5

Galatians 6:2-5. Bear ye one another’s burdens Sympathize with and assist each other, in all your weaknesses, grievances, trials. The apostle alludes to the custom of travellers, who, when too heavily laden with their baggage, relieve one another by bearing the burdens of the weak or fatigued, and in that manner show their good disposition toward each other; and so fulfil the law of Christ Even that law of love, which he particularly and especially enjoins, terming it his new... read more

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

Galatians 6:6. Let him that is taught in the word Who is instructed in the doctrines and precepts of the gospel; communicate unto him that teacheth According to the ability that God hath given him; in all good things All such temporal things as he stands in need of. If, says Macknight, “the teachers, who by spiritual gifts were supernaturally qualified to instruct others, deserved to be liberally maintained, how much more is a liberal maintenance due to those, who, not possessing the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 6:7-8

Galatians 6:7-8. Be not deceived As if he had said, It is an easy thing for interested men to find excuses for the neglect of this and other liberalities, which are required for the support and propagation of the gospel of Christ; but do not delude yourselves in this or any other such matter, by the treachery of your own hearts, which may more fatally impose upon yourselves than upon any others. For God Who searches all hearts, and observes all external circumstances; is not mocked Or,... read more

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
