Gálatas 2:19 NVI

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 2:19-21

The death of legal hope the life of evangelical obedience. Paul proceeds in the exposition of Peter's mistake to show that it is only when through the Law we die to all legal hope, we can live unto God. When legal hope has died within us, Christ has room to live and be the source of our spiritual energy. I. CONSIDER THE DEATH OF LEGALISM . ( Galatians 2:19 , Galatians 2:20 .) The idea of self-righteousness or Pharisaism was and is that we can live through the Law. But... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 2:19

For I through the law - On this passage the commentators are by no means agreed. It is agreed that in the phrase “am dead to the law,” the Law of Moses is referred to, and that the meaning is, that Paul had become dead to that as a ground or means of justification. He acted as though it were not; or it ceased to have influence over him. A dead man is insensible to all around him. He hears nothing; sees nothing; and nothing affects him. So when we are said to be dead to anything, the meaning is,... read more

Galatians 2:17-19. But if while we seek to be justified by Christ Through the merit of his obedience unto death, by simply believing in him, and in the truths and promises of his gospel; we ourselves are still found sinners Continue in sin; if we are still under the guilt and power of sin, in an unpardoned, unrenewed state; is therefore Christ the minister of sin Does he countenance sin, by giving persons reason to suppose that they are justified through believing in him as the true... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:11-21

Saved by faith alone (2:11-21)Being assured of the fellowship of the Jerusalem leaders, Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch (see Acts 12:25). From there they set out on their first missionary journey (see Acts 13:1-3). On returning to Antioch at the end of the journey, they came into conflict with a group of Judaisers who had come from Jerusalem. These men claimed to have the authority of James, and taught that Christians should keep the Jewish laws concerning food, circumcision and other... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 2:19

For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God."To live unto God" is to be in Christ who lives at God's right hand; where Christ is, there the Christian is; for because of his membership in Christ's spiritual body, there is a sense in which he "is Christ." Christ died, therefore we have died in his person on Calvary as our substitute. That is what Paul meant by saying, "We are baptized into his death." Through the Christian's being "in Christ," and identified with Christ,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 2:19

Galatians 2:19. Through the law— By the tenor of the law itself. See ch. Galatians 3:24-25 Galatians 4:21, &c. Romans 3:21; Rom 11:14 comp. with Romans 7:4. What St. Paul says here seems to imply, that living under the law was to live not acceptably to God;—a strange doctrine certainly to the Jews! and yet it was true now under the gospel: for God the Father having put his kingdom in this world wholly under his Son, in a peculiar sense, when he raised him from the dead, all who, after that,... read more

19. Here Paul seems to pass from his exact words to Peter, to the general purport of his argument on the question. However, his direct address to the Galatians seems not to be resumed till :-, "O foolish Galatians," c. For—But I am not a "transgressor" by forsaking the law. "For," &c. Proving his indignant denial of the consequence that "Christ is the minister of sin" ( :-), and of the premises from which it would follow. Christ, so far from being the minister of sin and death, is the... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 2:19

This verse means that the Law condemns or kills everyone. If someone is dead, he has no more responsibility to what killed him. He is in that sense free (cf. Romans 7). He can from then on devote his energy as a resurrected person not to pleasing the Law but to pleasing God."By virtue of his incorporation into Christ (cf. Galatians 2:17) and participation in Christ’s death Paul has undergone a death whereby his relation to the law has been decisively severed and the law has ceased to have any... read more
