As We Have Opportunity

Galatians 6:10 (NIV)
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Galatians 6:10 (MSG)
10 Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

Galatians 6:10 (NKJV)
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

The outgrowth of the change in us brought about by the Holy Spirit will bring a change in the way we see ourselves and others. Opportunities will come into view that would not have been recognized before we came to follow Jesus. Paul tells us to be watchful for others and to do good for all when an opportunity comes our way.

This is an example of faith expressing itself, of a life renewed, and presence of the Spirit.
