ガラテヤ人への手紙 1:8-10 JCB

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 1:9

Verse 9 9.As we said before. Leaving out, in this instance, the mention of himself and of angels, he repeats the former assertion, that it is unlawful for any man to teach anything contrary to what they had learned. (23) Observe the expression — ye have received; for he uniformly insists, that they must not regard the gospel as something unknown, existing in the air, or in their own imaginations. He exhorts them to entertain a firm and serious conviction, that the doctrine which they had... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 1:10

Verse 10 Having extolled so confidently his own preaching, he now shows that this was no idle or empty boast. He supports his assertion by two arguments. The first is, that he was not prompted by ambition, or flattery, or any similar passion, to accommodate himself to the views of men. The second and far stronger argument is, that he was not the author of the gospel, but delivered faithfully what he had received from God. 10. For do I now persuade according to men or according to God? The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 1:6-10

Paul's intolerance of any other gospel After the usual apostolic greeting, Paul proceeds, not to congratulate or compliment the Galatians in any way, but to reprimand them for turning away from the gospel to ritualism. Their idea of salvation through becoming Jews was subversive of the gospel of grace, and so the apostle shows himself intolerant of the false doctrine which was so mischievous. So sure is he of his position that he does not hesitate to denounce with the curse of God any, be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 1:6-10

Occasion of the Epistle. I. THE APOSTLE EXPRESSES AMAZEMENT AT THE CHANGED BEARING OF THE GALATIANS TOWARDS THE GOSPEL . "I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel; which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ? Only in this Epistle are wanting prefatory words of acknowledgment. In the case of the Corinthians he has words of warm... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 1:8

But though we ( ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ); but even if we ourselves. This "but" ( ἀλλὰ ) is strongly adversative. What those disturbers of the believer's peace would have been fain to do was a thing impossible. Heaven's gospel could not be thus changed. And the attempt to thus change it, being in effect to fight against God, merited God's curse. In the plural "we" the apostle intends principally his own self. A shrinking from unnecessary self-obtrusion, and tender respectful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 1:8

The duty of intolerance. The frightful excesses of unchristian intolerance that disgrace the history of the Church have led to a revulsion of feeling in which indifference is honoured with the name of charity. The advocate of any kind of intolerance is regarded with aversion as a bigot and a persecutor. But the duty of intolerance at the right and necessary time needs to be more clearly discerned. I. THE GROUNDS OF THE DUTY OF INTOLERANCE . 1 . The exclusive claims... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 1:8-9

The apostle's anathemas. The severity of these sentences is directed against the Judaizing teachers, not against the Galatians, whom he evidently regards as influenced by others. There is great mildness in his method of reproving the Galatians. The apostle first puts a hypothetical case, applicable to himself and his colleagues in the gospel, even to angels in heaven, and then he deals with an assumption of fact—fact that had actually occurred and was now occurring—that a gospel had been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 1:9

As we said before, so say I now again ( ὡς προειρήκαμεν καὶ ἄρτι πάλιν λέγω ); as we have said before , now also (or, and as now ) I am saying again. The complexion of the sentence, especially in the Greek, a good deal resembles that in 2 Corinthians 13:2 ," I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand ( προείρηκα καὶ προλέγω ), as when I was present the second time, so now being absent." In this latter passage, the perfect, "I have said beforehand," points to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 1:10

For do I now ( ἄρτι γάρ ); for at this hour. This "for" points back either to the fact of the apostle's having now so solemnly pronounced afresh the awful anathema which at some former time he had uttered; or which, in effect, is nearly the same thing, to the tone of feeling which he in so doing evinced, and to his method of apostolic action which he therein exemplified. The adverb ἄρτι , as used in the New Testament, is distinguished from the more common "now" ( νῦν ), as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 1:10

The apostle's explanation of his severity. "For do I now conciliate men, or God? or do I seek to please men?" Let them judge after his anathemas whether he would make concessions to please or conciliate the Judaists. I. IT IS WRONG TO BE MEN - PLEASERS . Perhaps the apostle had been charged by his enemies with a too accommodating spirit in being a Gentile to Gentiles and a Jew to Jews. He says, "I please all men in all things" (l Corinthians 10:33); but this referred to... read more
