Gálatas 3:26-27 NVIPT

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 3:26

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus ( πάντες γὰρ υἱοὶ θεοῦ ἐστὲ διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν χριστῷ ἰησοῦ ) for sons of God are ye all through faith in Christ Jesus . "For;" that is, what is just affirmed ( Galatians 3:25 ) is true, because ye are "sons" and no longer "children." "Ye are;" in Galatians 3:25 it is "we are." The whole course of the argument, however, shows that the persons recited by each of the personal pronouns are in effect the same,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 3:26

The blessing of adoption. The apostle has already traced justification to faith, the inheritance to faith, life to faith; now he traces adoption to faith. Believers are not children of Abraham merely, but sons of God. It is clear, then, that they are no longer children "in need of a schoolmaster." "For ye are all"—both Jews and Gentiles—"sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus." I. THE FOUNDATION OF SONSHIP . 1 . It originates in the distinguishing grace of God. We "are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 3:26-29

Sonship. Liberated from the tutelage of Law through faith and on account of his union with Christ, the Christian is exalted into the condition of a free son of God and enjoys the large privileges of sonship. I. THE CONDITION OF SONSHIP . God is the Father of all mankind, and all human creatures, even the most ignorant, the most degraded, and the most vicious are naturally God's children. The prodigal son is still a son and can think of "my father." Nevertheless, it is clear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 3:27

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ ( ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε ); for all ye who were baptized into Christ. "For;" pointing back to the whole preceding verse, but especially to the words," in Christ Jesus." "All ye who were baptized;" more literally, "ye, as many as were," etc. The rendering in our Authorized Version, "as many of you as have been baptized," allows of, if it does not suggest, the surmise that the apostle was aware of there being those... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 3:27

The import and obligations of baptism. "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ." I. THE IMPORT OF BAPTISM INTO CHRIST . 1 . It declares our union with Christ. We are baptized into his death, so far as we partake of its benefits, and are like him separated from the world and sin. We are by baptism separated from sin and devoted to Christ. 2 . The text does not imply that all baptized persons have been baptized into Christ. Calvin well... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:26

For ye are all the children of God ... - All who bear the Christian name - the converts from among the Jews and Gentiles alike; see the note at John 1:12. The idea here is, that they are no longer under tutors and governors; they are no longer subject to the direction and will of the “paedagogus”; they are arrived at age, and are admitted to the privileges of sons; see the note at Galatians 4:1. The language here is derived from the fact, that until the son arrived at age, he was in many... read more

Galatians 3:24-26. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster That is, the instructer of the childhood of us Jews, or of the church of God, in its state of minority; see on Galatians 4:3; to bring us unto Christ To train us up for him. And this it did, both by its precepts, which showed us the need we had of his atonement, and by its sacrifices, oblations, purifications, and other ceremonies, which all pointed us to him; that we might be justified by faith In him, and so might obtain the... read more

Galatians 3:27-29. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ In consequence of your believing in him with your heart unto righteousness, and have thereby testified and professed your faith in him; have put on Christ Have received him as your righteousness and sanctification; have obtained union with him, and in consequence thereof a conformity to him; have in you the mind which was in him, and walk as he walked. “In the expression, have put on Christ, there is an allusion to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:23-29

The law’s purpose illustrated (3:23-4:7)Jews under the law were like children under the control of a guardian, but this was only in anticipation of the coming of Christ. When he came, those who trusted in him were forgiven the sins they had committed against the law and were put right with God. Instead of being like children under a guardian, they now enjoyed the freedom of full-grown mature sons of God (23-26). Since the coming of Christ, all believers are united in him and are God’s children,... read more
