Charles Ellicott Commentary Galatians 6:10

"So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith." — Galatians 6:10 (ASV)

As we have therefore opportunity.—“Therefore” is emphatic and should come first. It introduces a summary conclusion from the preceding argument. Therefore (or, so then), as we have opportunity; wherever an opportunity offers.

Them who are of the household of faith.—On the whole, it would seem that this translation might stand.

It is true that the Greek word, originally meaning a “member of a household,” came to mean simply “acquainted with” or “belonging to,” the idea of a “household” being dropped.

Still, particularly in light of Ephesians 2:19—Fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God—where there seems to be a play upon the words “city” and “house,” it would appear that it ought to be retained in the present phrase.

The Church is represented as a household in 1 Timothy 3:15, Hebrews 3:6, 1 Peter 2:5, and 1 Peter 4:17.
