ἄρα οὖν ὡς καιρὸν ἔχομεν, ἐργαζώμεθα τὸ ἀγαθὸν πρὸς πάντας, μάλιστα δὲ πρὸς τοὺς οἰκείους τῆς πίστεως

Galatians 6:10 gives a warm and urgent exhortation to proactive love and goodness. The Greek structure ties opportunity, action, and spiritual family together into a seamless vision of Christian living that is timely, practical, and deeply communal.

Grammatical Foundations

ἄρα οὖν—“Therefore then.” This double particle (ἄρα and οὖν) strengthens the inference: a strong conclusion based on preceding truths about sowing and reaping (Galatians 6:7–9).

ὡς καιρὸν ἔχομεν—”as we have opportunity.”

ὡς introduces the conditional clause: “inasmuch as,” or “while.” καιρόν—accusative singular from καιρός, meaning “an appointed time,” “opportunity,” or “season.”… Learn Koine Greek
