This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gal 6:9. Τὸ) When we do good, perseverance ought to be added.-τὸ καλὸν ποιοῦντες, doing good, well-doing) The expression is different in Gal 6:10, ἐργαζώμεθα τὸ ἀγαθὸν, let us work what is good: comp. in all good things, Gal 6:6.-ἰδίῳ, at the proper season) after the sowing. We must wait in the meantime. Add the note to 1Ti 6:15. Then sowing will be beyond our power.-μὴ ἐκλυόμενοι) Ἐκκακεῖν, to be weary of, is in the will (velle): ἐκλύεσθαι, in the power (posse). μὴ ἐκλύεσθαι, to faint, is something more than ἐκκακεῖν. Both are to be referred to the sowing; for ἐκλύεσθαι arises from an internal relaxation of the powers. So the LXX., ἴσθι μὴ ἐκλυόμενος, be not faint, Pro 6:3. Chrysostom therefore interprets it, that no one should be fatigued in it, as in a worldly harvest.
