SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:9
No nos faltemos, pues, de hacer bien; que a su tiempo segaremos, si no hubiremos faltado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Galatians 6:9
Verse 9. Let us not be weary] Well-doing is easier in itself than ill-doing; and the danger of growing weary in the former arises only from the opposition to good in our own nature, or the outward hinderances we may meet with from a gainsaying and persecuting world. In due season we shall reap] As the husbandman, in ploughing, sowing, and variously labouring in his fields, is supported by the hope of a plentiful harvest, which he cannot expect before the right and appointed time; so every follower of God may be persuaded that he shall not be permitted to pray, weep, deny himself, and live in a conformity to his Maker's will, without reaping the fruit of it in eternal glory. And although no man obtains glory because he has prayed, &c., yet none can expect glory who do not seek it in this way. This is sowing to the Spirit; and the Spirit and the grace are furnished by Christ Jesus, and by him the kingdom of heaven is opened to all believers; but only those who believe, love, and obey, shall enter into it.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And let us not be weary in well doing , etc..] This may be understood of well doing, or doing good works in general, of every sort; which are such as are done according to the will of God, from a principle of love to him, in faith, and in the name and strength of Christ, and with a view to the glory of God: or else acts of beneficence to Christ's ministers and poor in particular; which are agreeable to the mind of God, and wellpleasing in his sight: and in doing which men should not be weary; nor are they, when their spiritual strength is renewed, and grace is in exercise, though they may meet with many things which tend to discourage and make them weary; such as change in their own circumstances, losses in the world, the multitude of objects, the ungratefulness of some, and unworthiness of others: for in due time we shall reap ; either in this world, sooner or later; in proper time, in God's own time, by enjoying an increase of the fruits of righteousness; for the seed sown shall spring up again; the bread that is cast on the waters will be found after many days; and such as honour the Lord with their substance shall be blessed with plenty of temporal good things, either they or theirs: or else in the other world, or at the end of this; which will be the harvest time, the reaping time, the time of enjoying eternal life: if we faint not ; but continue to the end, persevere constantly in doing acts of beneficence, and patiently wait, as the husbandman does, for the precious fruits of the earth; for there must be a distance of time between sowing and reaping; men must not expect to reap as soon as they sow; and therefore should not be weary of sowing, nor impatient in waiting, though they do not see as yet the appearance of the fruits thereof; for in their season they will be seen and enjoyed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - Many excuse themselves from the work of religion, though they may make a show, and profess it. They may impose upon others, yet they deceiv themselves if they think to impose upon God, who knows their hearts a well as actions; and as he cannot be deceived, so he will not be mocked. Our present time is seed time; in the other world we shall rea as we sow now. As there are two sorts of sowing, one to the flesh, an the other to the Spirit, so will the reckoning be hereafter. Those wh live a carnal, sensual life, must expect no other fruit from such course than misery and ruin. But those who, under the guidance an influences of the Holy Spirit, live a life of faith in Christ, an abound in Christian graces, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting We are all very apt to tire in duty, particularly in doing good. Thi we should carefully watch and guard against. Only to perseverance in well-doing is the reward promised. Here is an exhortation to all to d good in their places. We should take care to do good in our life-time and make this the business of our lives. Especially when fres occasions offer, and as far as our power reaches.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
9. Be weary (enkakwmen). Lit. faint or lose heart. Comp. 2 Thessalonians iii. 13.
In due season (kairw idiw). In the season which is peculiarly the harvest-time of each form of well-doing. See on ver. 5.
Faint (ekluomenoi). Only here in Paul. See Matt. xv. 32; Mark viii. 3; Heb. xii. 3, 5. Lit. to be loosened or relaxed, like the limbs of the weary.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:9 {Let us not be weary in well-doing} (to kalon poiountes me enkakwmen). Volitive present active subjunctive of enkakew on which see #Lu 18:1; 2Th 3:13; 2Co 4:1,16 (en, kakos, evil). Literally, "Let us not keep on giving in to evil while doing the good." It is curious how prone we are to give in and to give out in doing the good which somehow becomes prosy or insipid to us. {In due season} (kairwi idiwi). Locative case, "at its proper season" (harvest time). Cf. #1Ti 2:6; 6:15 (plural). {If we faint not} (me ekluomenoi). Present passive participle (conditional) with me. Cf. ekluw, old verb to loosen out. Literally, "not loosened out," relaxed, exhausted as a result of giving in to evil (enkakwmen).
