Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 1:6-9

Galatians 1:6-9. I marvel that ye are so soon After my leaving you; removed from him that called you into the grace Or rather, by, or through the grace; of Christ His gracious gospel, and his gracious power. God is generally said to call men into the grace of Christ, but the phraseology seems here to point out Paul, and not God, as the person spoken of. For as he wrote this chapter to prove himself an apostle, his success in calling the Galatians to the Christian faith was fitly... 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 1:7

Which is not another gospel; only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.This verse should be read in close connection with the previous one. Regarding the exact meaning, Ramsay preferred as the simplest and best, "that which the English Revised Version (1885) gives in the margin,"[22] giving the thought thus: "A different gospel which is nothing else save that there are some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ." There is no hint in this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 1:7

Galatians 1:7. Which is not another;— I take the Greek here to signify, says Mr. Locke, which is not any thing else. For, first, the words themselves, the context, and the business the Apostle is upon, do all concur in this sense. Secondly, It is suitable to St. Paul's design here to tell them, that to their being removed to another Gospel, nobody else had contributed, but it was wholly owing to those Judaizing seducers. Dr. Heylin renders this and the preceding verse as follows: I wonder you... read more

7. another—A distinct Greek word from that in Galatians 1:6. Though I called it a gospel (Galatians 1:6), it is not really so. There is really but one Gospel, and no other gospel. but—Translate, "Only that there are some that trouble you," c. (Galatians 5:10 Galatians 5:12). All I meant by the "different gospel" was nothing but a perversion by "some" of the one Gospel of Christ. would pervert—Greek, "wish to pervert"; they could not really pervert the Gospel, though they could pervert Gospel... 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 1:6-7

In every other one of his canonical epistles Paul commended his readers before launching into the main subject of his letter regardless of his general purpose in writing. Here he recorded no such praise. Its absence stressed the seriousness of his readers’ error and the urgency of his appeal.The best evidence points to Paul’s writing Galatians before the Jerusalem Council, held in A.D. 49, and after he and Barnabas evangelized Asia Minor on their first missionary journey (Acts 13-14). I am... 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
