But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
All Commentaries on Galatians 6:4 Go To Galatians 6
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Here Paul shows that we must scrutinize our lives. We must test what we have done not cheaply but stringently. For example, suppose you have done something good. Consider whether it might have been through vanity or through necessity, or with animosity, or in hypocrisy, or through some other selfcentered motive.
