John Gill
INTRODUCTION TO Galatians 6 In this chapter the apostle exhorts to the exercise of various things, which greatly become professors of religion, such as meekness towards backsliders, love to the saints, modesty in themselves, and beneficence to others; exposes the hypocrisy and ambition of the false teachers, in order that the Galatians might beware of them, and not be ensnared by them; and gives...
John Gill
For he that soweth to his flesh,.... Not that taking due care of a man's body, seeking the preservation of its health, providing proper food and raiment for himself, and all necessaries for the good and support of his family, is to be called sowing to his flesh, nor is he to be called a carnal sower; but he is such an one that pampers his flesh, gratifies and indulges the lusts of it, who minds...
Matthew Henry
This chapter chiefly consists of two parts. In the former the apostle gives us several plain and practical directions, which more especially tend to instruct Christians in their duty to one another, and to promote the communion of saints in love, ver. 1-10.

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; That is what always comes to the flesh; it decays and corrupts. Gal_6:8. But he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. No corruption shall come to that which belongs to the Spirit: “He that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap What the flesh always comes to by-and-bye.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit By faith in Christ — by being led of the Spirit.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, it we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. They have a first claim upon us. They are nearest of kin. They are our brethren in Christ. Let them have a Benjamin’s portion.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; He shall reap what flesh turns to in due time: “he shall of the flesh reap corruption.” What is the end of flesh? The fairest flesh, that ever was moulded from the most beauteous form, ends in corruption; and if we live for the flesh, and sow to it, we shall reap “corruption.” Gal_6:8. But he that soweth to the Spirit shall of...
