Galatians 6:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

God is not mocked. The Greek х mukteerizetai (G3456)] is to draw up the nostrils in contempt. God does not suffer Himself to be imposed on by empty words: He will judge according to works, which are seeds sown for an eternity of either joy or woe. Excuses for illiberality in God's cause (Galatians 6:6) seem valid before men, but are not so before God (Ps. 1:21).

Soweth - especially of his resources (2 Corinthians 9:6).

That - Greek, 'this,' and nothing else.

Reap - at the harvest, the end of the world (Matthew 13:39).

Galatians 6:7

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
