Gálatas 6:10 Meaning and Commentary

Galatians 6:10

As we have therefore opportunity
Or "ability", so the phrase is sometimes used ^F26; as occasion requires, objects offer, as there is ability of well doing, and that continues; while the time of life lasts, which is the time for sowing, or doing good works:

let us do good unto all men;
not only to our relations, friends, and acquaintance, but to all men; to them that are strangers to us, of whatsoever nation, Jew or Gentile; and of whatsoever religion or sect, yea, even to our very enemies:

especially unto them who are of the household of faith:
the children of God, that belong to his family, are true believers in Christ, hold the doctrine of faith, make a profession of it, and keep it fast; these are more especially to be the objects of Christian beneficence and liberality. The apostle may have sense reference to a practice among the Jews, who took a particular care of the children of good men that were poor;

``there were two chambers in the temple, the one was called the chamber of secrets, and the other the chamber of vessels: into the chamber of secrets, religious men used to put privately, whereby were privately maintained the poor (Mybwj ynb) , "of the children of good men" ^F1.''

The Targumist on ( Jeremiah 5:3 ) has a phrase much like to this applied to God, paraphrasing the passage thus; is it not, O Lord, revealed before thee, (atwnmyh ydbel abjwal) , "to do good to the servants of faith?"

Gálatas 6:10 In-Context

8 Los que viven solo para satisfacer los deseos de su propia naturaleza pecaminosa cosecharán, de esa naturaleza, destrucción y muerte; pero los que viven para agradar al Espíritu, del Espíritu, cosecharán vida eterna.

9 Así que no nos cansemos de hacer el bien. A su debido tiempo, cosecharemos numerosas bendiciones si no nos damos por vencidos.

10 Por lo tanto, siempre que tengamos la oportunidad, hagamos el bien a todos, en especial a los de la familia de la fe.

11 Último consejo de Pablo

12 Los que tratan de obligarlos a circuncidarse lo hacen para quedar bien con otros. No quieren ser perseguidos por enseñar que solo la cruz de Cristo salva.
