The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 5:7-12

In these verses the language is remarkably curt and disjointed. Their style seems to betoken, either the mind of the writer musing in painful embarrassment, uncertain how best to grapple with the case before him through imperfect knowledge of the circumstances ("Who did hinder you?" ); or , possibly, the painful effort which it cost the apostle to "write with his own hand." In Galatians 5:13 he at length takes up a line of thought which he is able to follow on with fulness and fluency. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 5:10

I have confidence in you through the Lord ( ἐγὼ τέποιθα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ ); I for my own part have confidence with respect to you in the Lord. The pronoun ἐγὼ prefixed to the verb, perhaps, distinguishes the writer from some about him, particularly those who had just before brought that un-favourable report of the state of affairs in Galatia which had prompted the writing of this letter. The apostle has himself a vivid remembrance of their warm-hearted... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 5:10

The apostle's sanguine hopes of Galatian recovery. The swerve toward ritualism was in its mere incipiency. Therefore he assumes a hopeful tone in dealing with the Galatians as a Church. "He fears the worst, but hopes the best." I. THE GROUND OF HIS HOPEFUL CONFIDENCE . "In the Lord." It is good to be of a hopeful temperament, and good to have good men to think well of our state, as their judgment will be according to truth and charity, The ground of the apostle's confidence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 5:11

And I, brethren ( ἐγὼ δέ ἀδελφοί ); but in respect to myself , brethren. The personal pronoun is again accentuated. It seems that it had been affirmed by some one, most probably that individual "troubler" of the preceding verse (on which account the point is just here mentioned), that the apostle did himself "preach circumcision." The compellation "brethren" has a tone of pathos in it: it appeals, not merely to their knowledge of his experience of persecution, but to their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 5:11

A false imputation repelled. Perhaps one of the false teachers might say that the apostle was himself one of the subverters of the gospel, for he had circumcised Timothy. "And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased." I. IT IS RIGHT FOR GOOD MEN TO REPEL FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THEIR CHARACTER . There are ultra-spiritual people in our day who decline to notice attacks upon... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:10

I have confidence in you ... - Though they had been led astray, and had embraced many false opinions, yet, on the whole, Paul had confidence in their piety, and believed they would yet return and embrace the truth.That ye will be none otherwise minded - That is, than you have been taught by me; or than I think and teach on the subject. Paul doubtless means to say, that he had full confidence that they would embrace the views which he was inculcating on the subject of justification, and he makes... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:11

And I, brethren - Paul here proceeds to vindicate himself from giving countenance to the doctrines which they had advanced there. It is evident that the false teachers in Galatia appealed to Paul himself, and alleged that he insisted on the necessity of circumcision, and that they were teaching no more than he taught. On what they founded this is unknown. It may have been mere slander; or it may have arisen from the fact that he had circumcised Timothy Acts 16:3, and, possibly, that he may have... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 5:7-10

Galatians 5:7-10. Ye did run well In the race of faith, love, and obedience; in true, genuine Christianity; believing its truths, experiencing its graces, enjoying its privileges, performing its duties. The exercises of faith and holiness, enjoined in the gospel, are often in Scripture compared to the ancient athletic exercises of the Greeks, especially to the race; because in that exercise the greatest exertions of activity and strength were necessary to obtain the prize, Hebrews 12:1. ... read more

Galatians 5:11-12. And I, brethren If, as my enemies insinuate; I yet preach circumcision As necessary to salvation, and urge it upon the believing Gentiles; why do I yet suffer persecution From the Jews, as one apostatized from their religion? Probably the person that troubled them took occasion, from Paul’s having circumcised Timothy, to affirm that he preached the necessity of submitting to that rite. Then is the offence of the cross ceased The grand reason why the Jews were so... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 5:1-12

5:1-6:18 THE FRUITS OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTYNo place for law-keeping (5:1-12)Through the death of Christ, believers have been freed from the bondage of the law. They should therefore live as free people (5:1).If circumcision is necessary for salvation, Christ is of no use. Also, those who want to keep the law about circumcision must keep the whole law. They cannot choose one command and ignore others to suit themselves. If they try to find salvation through law-keeping, they cut themselves off from... read more
