Share All Good Things

Galatians 6:6 NASB
And let the one who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches.

What is the one who is taught the word instructed to do?
In the previous verses, what has Paul been telling the believers?
How is this verse related to the previous verses?
Why do you think Paul has brought up this one specific responsibility?

Read Galatians 1:6-8; 4:11-16; 5:10-12.

Who taught the word to the Galatians?
What made it necessary for Paul to write this letter to the Galatians?
What might they be doing that would make it necessary for Paul to write Galatians 6:6?

Let's read a cross-reference for this verse: 1 Corinthians 9:11-14.
Here's what The Bible Knowledge Commentary by John F. Walvoord and Roy B. Zuck says about this verse:

This concept of voluntary giving to provide for the Lord's servants was revolutionary
since Jews were taxed for the support of their priests and Gentiles paid fees, made vows,
etc., to sustain their religions.

Who shared the word of God with you?
What good things might you share with them?
