Gálatas 5:6 RVA

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:6

For in Jesus Christ - In the religion which Christ came to establish.Neither circumcision ... - It makes no difference whether a man is circumcised or not. He is not saved because he is circumcised, nor is he condemned because he is not. The design of Christianity is to abolish these rites and ceremonies, and to introduce a way of salvation that shall be applicable to all mankind alike; see the Galatians 3:28, note; 1 Corinthians 7:19, note; compare Romans 2:29.But faith which worketh by love -... read more

Galatians 5:5-6. For we Who believe in Christ, and are his true disciples, having been savingly enlightened in the knowledge of the truth; do, through the influences of the Spirit Without any of these carnal ordinances; wait for In sure confidence of obtaining; the hope of righteousness That is, the righteousness we hope for, and the full reward of it; by faith The only way in which these blessings can be attained; for it is through faith that we receive this righteousness of God,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 5:1-12

5:1-6:18 THE FRUITS OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTYNo place for law-keeping (5:1-12)Through the death of Christ, believers have been freed from the bondage of the law. They should therefore live as free people (5:1).If circumcision is necessary for salvation, Christ is of no use. Also, those who want to keep the law about circumcision must keep the whole law. They cannot choose one command and ignore others to suit themselves. If they try to find salvation through law-keeping, they cut themselves off from... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 5:6

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.This means "neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is relevant to Christianity." The question of true justification does not regard such a thing in any manner whatever. Some have wondered why Paul included "uncircumcision" in this declaration; but, as many of the Galatian converts had been won from the Jewish synagogues (where Paul always went first with the gospel), it was mandatory... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:6

Galatians 5:6. Faith which worketh by love.— There is some degree of ambiguity in the original:— Δι αγαπης ενεργουμενη . It may be rendered either which operates, and works by love; or, which is wrought, inspired and perfected by love. Some have preferred the latter sense; and have taken occasion hence to shew, how much love tends to establish and perfect faith: but the former, which is the more usual sense, appears to be authorized by the use of the same word, Eph 3:20 and Colossians 1:0. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:6

6. For—confirming the truth that it is "by faith" ( :-). in Jesus Christ—Greek, "in Christ Jesus." In union with Christ (the ANOINTED Saviour), that is, Jesus of Nazareth. nor uncircumcision—This is levelled against those who, being not legalists, or Judaizers, think themselves Christians on this ground alone. faith which worketh by love—Greek, "working by love." This corresponds to "a new creature" ( :-), as its definition. Thus in Galatians 5:5; Galatians 5:6, we have the three, "faith,"... read more

IV. PRACTICAL APPLICATION TO CHRISTIAN LIVING 5:1-6:10Paul moved next from theology (chs. 3-4) to ethics, from doctrine to practice. This is a change in degree of emphasis, however, rather than a totally new emphasis. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 5:1-12

1. Living without the Law 5:1-12The apostle warned his readers not to think that they could satisfy the demands of the Mosaic Law by obeying only a few of its commands. Only complete compliance satisfies its demands. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 5:5-6

Paul’s approach, and the one he tried to persuade the Galatians to adopt, was simply to trust God to deliver all that we anticipate in the future because we are now righteous (justified). [Note: Fung, pp. 225-26.] This hope includes our ultimate glorification (cf. Romans 8:18-25; 1 Peter 1:3-4; 1 Peter 1:13). We do not work for this, but we wait for it. Paul typically used "righteousness" to describe what we have now because of justification, but he used "salvation" to stress our future... read more
