Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 1:10

Galatians 1:10. For He here adds the reason why he speaks so confidently; do I now persuade, or satisfy, men Is this what I aim at in preaching or writing? or God? Do I endeavour, in my ministry, to ingratiate myself with men, or to approve myself to God? Or do I seek to please men By a compliance with their prejudices or designs? For if I yet Or still, as before my conversion; pleased men Studied to please them; if this were my motive of action, nay, if I did in fact please... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 1:1-10

1:1-2:21 PAUL’S GOSPEL IS THE ONLY GOSPELRebuke to the Galatians (1:1-10)At the outset Paul reminds the Galatians that his call to be an apostle did not come from any human source or through any human agency. It came direct from God. The gospel that God called him to preach is the good news that by the grace of God and through the death of Christ, people can be saved from their sins (1:1-5).Paul is amazed and angered to hear that many of the Galatians are turning away from this, the only true... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 1:10

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.Seeking the favor of men... Paul brought into view in these words the bitter human opposition that accompanied his preaching everywhere he went. "His patient endurance made manifest that he was a genuine minister of Christ.[34] "Paul here showed the utter inconsistency of service of men (in sense of trying to curry favor).[35]If I were still... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 1:10

Galatians 1:10. Do I now persuade men,— Do I court the favour of men;—or, Do I ingratiate myself with men, rather than with God? The words now and yet cannot be understood without a reference to something in St. Paul's past life. What that was which he had particularly then in his mind, we may see by the account he gives of himself in what immediately follows; namely, that before his conversion he was employed by men in their designs, and made it his business to please them, as may be seen Acts... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Galatians 1:10

10. For—accounting for the strong language he has just used. do I now—resuming the "now" of Galatians 1:9. "Am I now persuading men?" [ALFORD], that is, conciliating. Is what I have just now said a sample of men-pleasing, of which I am accused? His adversaries accused him of being an interested flatterer of men, "becoming all things to all men," to make a party for himself, and so observing the law among the Jews (for instance, circumcising Timothy), yet persuading the Gentiles to renounce it... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 1:1-10

I. INTRODUCTION 1:1-10The Apostle Paul began this epistle in an uncharacteristic way for him. After a customary salutation, he rebuked the Galatian Christians. Usually he began his epistles by commending his readers. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 1:6-10

B. Denunciation 1:6-10In these opening words Paul rebuked his readers for turning away from the gospel that he had preached to them and for turning toward a different "gospel." He accused them of being religious turncoats. He did so to impress them with the great folly of their action. The fiery opening of this epistle presents it "like a lion turned loose in the arena of Christianity." [Note: Longenecker, p. lvii.] "The general proposition or causa of the letter is to persuade the Galatians to... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 1:10

The false teachers evidently charged Paul with preaching to curry the favor of his listeners, perhaps to gain a large number of converts to enhance his own reputation. They could have charged him with preaching "easy believism" since he advocated faith in Christ alone for salvation."There have always been preachers who have sought popular acclaim above all else, and there are some still. It is part of fallen human nature that even those charged with the responsibility of proclaiming the gospel... read more

St. Paul maintains the Validity of his Apostleship and the Truth of his Gospel1-5. The Apostle sends greetings from himself and the brethren with him to the Churches of Galatia, reminding them at the same time that his apostolic authority was not of human but of divine origin.Paraphrase. ’(1) I, Paul,—no self-constituted or humanly appointed missionary, but an Apostle divinely called by Christ and by God, who raised Him from the dead—(2) send greetings to the Churches of Galatia, in which all... read more
