John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:3

Verse 3 3.For if a man think himself. There is an ambiguity in the construction, but Paul’s meaning is clear. The phrase, When he is nothing, appears at first view to mean, “if any person, who is in reality nothing, claims to be something;” as there are many men of no real worth who are elated by a foolish admiration of themselves. But the meaning is more general, and may be thus expressed: “Since all men are nothing, he who wishes to appear something, and persuades himself that he is somebody,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:1

Brethren, if (or, although ) a man be overtaken in a fault ( ἀδελφοί ἐὰν καὶ προληφθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἔν τινι παραπτέματι ); brethren ', if even a man hath been overtaken in some trespass. "Brethren;" the compellation so introduced betokens a somewhat pathetic urgency: el. above, Galatians 3:15 ; Galatians 4:31 ; Galatians 5:11 . But Philippians 3:13 , Philippians 3:17 suffice to show that its occurrence at the beginning of a sentence does not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:1

Restoration of a fallen brother. The apostle changes his attitude of rebuke into one of affectionate admonition as he addresses the "brethren" of the Galatian Churches. His language exhibits a marked softening of tone that recalls the warmth of his earlier relationship to them. There are "brethren" still in Galatia. Notice— I. A GRAVE CASE OF OFFENCE . "Even if a man be surprised in a transgression. 1 . It is not a case of mere inadvertence or ignorance , but a case... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:1

Restoring the erring. In all the writings of St. Paul there is no more Christ-like utterance than this. It breathes the very spirit of him who came to seek and to save the lost. It seems to be addressed in particular to the more spiritual members of the Galatian Churches—to those who had not been carried away in the tide of fashionable Judaizing. There was a danger lest the severe rebuke administered by the apostle to their erroneous brethren should provoke a vain and censorious spirit in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:1-5

The restoration of the erring. The walk in the Spirit, which eschews vain-glory and envy, further manifests itself in consideration for the erring. The sins of others become our concern, and we anxiously seek how we can best have them restored. Here, then, is a burden which Christians have not undertaken as earnestly and sympathetically as they ought to have done; it is the burden of sin which weighs on other people's hearts. I. THE PREPARATION FOR DEALING WITH OTHER ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:1-5

Treatment of a fallen brother. I. CHRISTIAN WAY OF TREATING A FALLEN BROTHER . 1 . It is our duty to restore him. "Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of meekness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted." This subject arises out of the warning against vain-glory at the close of the last chapter. When a vain-glorious spirit possesses a society, some provoke as superiors, and others are filled... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:2

Bear ye one another's burdens ( ἀλλήλων τὰ βάρη βαστάζετε ); carry ye , or, be ready to carry , the heavy loads of one another. The position of ἀλλήλων gives it especial prominence; as it stands here it seems pregnant with the exhortation, look not every man only at his own griefs, but at the griefs also of others" (cf. Philippians 2:4 ). The word βάρος , weight, points to an excessive weight, such as it is a toil to carry. Matthew 20:12 , "who have borne... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:2

The bearing of others' burdens. "One another's burdens do ye bear, and so ye shall thoroughly fulfil the law of Christ." This verse is an advance upon the first verse, for it greatly widens the sphere of duty. Consider— I. THE BURDENS TO BE BORNE . They are not simply "the infirmities of the weak," which the Roman Christians were called upon to bear; but sins, sorrows, errors, and temptations. It is a serious thing for the weak or the wayward to make themselves a burden to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:2

The law of Christ. The Galatians have been hankering after the Law of Judaism, as though some counsels of perfection could be found therein for adding higher virtue to the graces of Christianity. "If you want a law," says St. Paul, "take this rule of mutual sympathy—bear ye one another's burdens." Christ has his law, then, after all. It is not a ceremonial observance, but it is high enough for the ambition of the noblest self-sacrifice. I. CHRIST EXPECTS US TO TAKE DEEP ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 6:3

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself ( εἰ γὰρ δοκεῖ τις εἶναί τι μηδὲν ὤν φρεεναπατᾷ ἑαυτόν [Receptus, ἑαυτὸν φρεναπατᾷ ); for if a man is nothing and thinketh himself to be something , he is deceiving his own soul. The conjunction "for" points back to the practical direction just given to the "spiritual;" meaning that for those who wished to be, and also perhaps to be thought to be, fulfilling Christ's law, this was... read more
