Galatians 6:6-10
6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

We are to pass on what God teaches us by those He has called and gifted to teach, as well as each one of us who have followed and grown in the word. Knowing must result in growing in ourselves, and then to others by discipleship. But what we plant in our souls must not be things that feed our fallen nature and corrupt us out of His image we are being conformed to; instead we should be sowing to the new by yielding to His Spirit of holiness and good fruit by righteous choices. When we so live, it is easy to become tired of doing good and to give up trying in a world opposed to good, but patience brings good crops. We are to do what is right for God’s glory and others’ good. This is vital within the church body between Christ followers. We are therefore to do good and share the word and deeds, not losing heart even when few do this.
