Commentary on Galatians 6:8
Theological / DevotionalThe flesh. See on ch. 5:13, 17, 24. Paul here refers to those who do not attempt to check their carnal desires and inclinations (see ch. 5:19–21). Only as a man resists evil can he expect to be free from its influence and results. In ch. 6:7 attention is centered on the kind of seed sown, but here, more on the ground in which it is cast. Compare the parable of the Sower (see on Matt. 13:3–9). When the ground is “the flesh” the fruit is certain to be blighted.
Soweth to the Spirit. Equivalent to being “led of the Spirit” (see on Rom. 8:14; Gal. 5:16). No better example of this can be cited than the life of the apostle Paul himself. He knew by experience whereof he spoke (cf. Acts 13:1, 2; 16:6, 7; etc.).
