<p>6:9 <i>And let us not be weary in doing well</i>- Paul is balancing his position by emphasizing that he is not at all teaching that we should not do works. Those works, however, are motivated by a response to the great and saving grace we have been shown. The Galatians had grown weary of the great response to grace; and had preferred therefore to seek justification by works, for that actually demands less &quot;doing well&quot;.</p><p><i>For in due season</i>- At the day of judgment. We have noted the allusions to 1 Cor. 15, which presents that as the time of reaping and incorruption. See on :10 <i>As we have opportunity</i>.</p><p><i>We shall reap, if we do not give up</i>- We as well as the Lord Jesus shall reap (see on :8 <i>But he that sows to the Spirit</i>). The problem was that the Galatians were indeed 'giving up'. They were giving up their understanding of salvation by faith without works, and instead going for salvation by works. But their well doing, their good works, were in fact decreasing They were giving up sowing to the Spirit This is such a powerful point. Those who are truly grateful for salvation by grace alone will respond far more enthusiastically than those who think their good deeds can secure their salvation. The same Greek word for &quot;give up&quot; is used in Heb. 12:3 about the Hebrew believers who were also returning to the Law likewise being tempted to 'give up' or &quot;faint&quot;.</p>
