Commentary

(Th2 3:13). And when we do good, let us also persevere in it without fainting. in due season--in its own proper season, God's own time (Ti1 6:15). faint not--literally, "be relaxed." Stronger than "be not weary." Weary of well-doing refers to the will; "faint not" to relaxation of the powers [BENGEL]. No one should faint, as in an earthly harvest sometimes happens.
