Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith. The admonition is thrown into a general form, but it has evidently a special application in the apostle's own mind (see 1 Corinthians 16:1). He had solicited their alms for the suffering brethren of Judaea. The messenger who had brought him word of the spread of Judaism among the Galatians had also, I suppose, reported unfavourably of their liberality. They had not responded heartily to the appeal. He reproves them in consequence for their backwardness; but he wishes to give them more time, and therefore refrains from prejudging the case. (Bp. Lightfoot.)
