Gálatas 1:8 NVT

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 1:8

But though we - That is, we the apostles. Probably, he refers particularly to himself, as the plural is often used by Paul when speaking of himself. He alludes here, possibly, to a charge which was brought against him by the false teachers in Galatia, that he had changed his views since he came among them, and now preached differently from what he did then; see the introduction. They endeavored probably to fortify their own opinions in regard to the obligations of the Mosaic law, by affirming,... read more

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 1:8

But though we or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel, other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.Paul's indignation here stood upon the very highest ground. "It is not on account of antagonism to himself, but antagonism to the truth. Though he himself should fall away from it, the truth must still be supreme."[27] In fact, supposing that he himself should defect from the truth, Paul invoked upon his own head the curse of God.An angel from heaven...... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 1:8

Galatians 1:8. Though we, or an angel from heaven,— Some have imagined, that the Apostle uses this expression as a prophetical prevention against crediting the pretences of Cerinthus and Mahomet, who both pretended to have received their revelations by the ministry of an angel.It may likewise glance at the manner of giving the law, which, according to the Apostle, was by the ministration of angels. By preaching any other Gospel, he means the preaching any thing as Gospel besides what he had... read more

8. But—however weighty they may seem "who trouble you." Translate as Greek, "Even though we," namely, I and the brethren with me, weighty and many as we are (Galatians 1:1; Galatians 1:2). The Greek implies a case supposed which never has occurred. angel—in which light ye at first received me (compare Galatians 4:14; 1 Corinthians 13:1), and whose authority is the highest possible next to that of God and Christ. A new revelation, even though seemingly accredited by miracles, is not to be... 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

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 1:8

Paul leveled his strongest verbal artillery against these teachers. Whoever they were, they apparently claimed the highest authority for their teaching since Paul warned his readers to reject it even if it had come from angelic messengers sent directly from heaven. This is an example of hyperbole: exaggeration for the sake of emphasis. [Note: See Tenney, p. 138, for a chart of the figures of speech in Galatians.] By "accursed" Paul meant under God’s judgment. Islam claims that Mohammed received... read more
