what pressures were the galatians facing that made 'doing good' feel weary?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Galatians 6:9

“Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.”

Paul wrote this letter to various churches in the Roman province of Galatia in the middle of the first century CE. He was concerned that some teachers were urging these new believers to follow Jewish laws like circumcision, in addition to faith in Jesus, leading to confusion and division.
