Notes

Galatians 6:10

Therefore: This statement forms an inclusio that marks the beginning and end of this section (5:13–6:10), like two bookends that hold it together by repeating the theme from 5:13: Freedom in the Spirit urges us to do good to others with love.
Doing good to those in the faith community shows God's faithfulness to his children. This action directly shows how God meets all their needs.
