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

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:8

8. To his flesh Flesh and Spirit do not designate the different fields in which we sow, nor the different seeds, but the different interests to please which we sow. Yet the seed is different according to the different interests in which we sow, as the responsible act is different according to which interest it regards. To his flesh To the gratification of his flesh. Reap corruption That absolute ruin of which bodily putrefaction is the image, and which, as the opposite of eternal... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:9

9. Not be weary Like the reaper, through the long, hot, toilsome day, the good man is sometimes likely to faint. Holy life has its weary side to it, but it has, too, its side of hope and cheer. In well doing In doing το καλον , the honourable, the excellent, in contrast to the flesh, which tends to corruption, and is base. In due season At the harvest season of the world, which, however distant in time, is ever near in its value. Reap Eternal life in eternal joy. Faint not And... read more

Do good Rather, Let us work, το αγαθον , the good, the true, the highest good. Especially Inasmuch as they are often excluded from many worldly modes of gain, and are impoverished by persecution.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:11

11. Ye see how large a letter I have written More accurately, Behold ye, in what large letters I wrote to you with my own hand. “Letters” is the alphabetic characters; and it is unquestionable that he refers to their size, not to their unshapeliness, as some think. It may be, as Professor Lightfoot says, that the largeness of their size was intended by Paul to indicate the firmness of his purpose. So we have been inclined to think that John Hancock’s large signature on the Declaration of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:11-18

c. Autographic summary of the epistle and closing benediction, Galatians 6:11-18 . “At this point the apostle takes the pen from his amanuensis, and the concluding paragraph is written with his own hand. From the time when letters began to be forged in his name (2 Thessalonians 2:2; 2 Thessalonians 3:17) it seems to have been his practice to close with a few words in his own handwriting as a precaution against such forgeries. Frequently he confined himself to adding the final benediction,... read more
