Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 5:24

Galatians 5:24. And they that are Christ’s Who are true believers in him, and therefore possessed of union with him, and shall be finally owned as belonging to him; have crucified the flesh Have doomed it to a certain death, like the body of one that is nailed to a cross, and left to expire upon it; with the affections and lusts All its evil passions, appetites, and inclinations. The word affections, or passions, as παθηματα should rather be rendered, as distinguished from the... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 5:13-26

True freedom; true Christianity (5:13-26)Christian freedom does not mean that believers may do as they like. On the contrary, they must think of others and act to please them. This is what the law commands, but those who want to put themselves under the law cannot do it. Instead they are unkind and cruel to each other. The goal that the law aims at is not reached by trying to keep the law, but by acting with true Christian liberty (13-15).Sooner or later Christians find that they do not always... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 5:24

And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts thereof.Continuing to walk in the Spirit, centering and continuing the thoughts and meditations of the heart upon the teachings of the Lord, actively seeking to maintain identity with the mind of Christ, consciousness of the indwelling Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - these things will indeed "crucify" the lusts and evil imaginations which feed them. This is possible only in the spiritual religion of Christ... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:24

Galatians 5:24. They that are Christ's— These are the same with those who are led by the Spirit, Gal 5:18 and are opposed to those who live after the flesh; Romans 8:13, where it is said, conformably to what we find here, they through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body. That principle in us, whence spring vicious inclinations and actions, is sometimes called the flesh, sometimes the old man: the subduing and mortifying of this evil principle, so that the force and power wherewith it used... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:24

24. The oldest manuscripts read, "They that are of Christ Jesus"; they that belong to Christ Jesus; being "led by (His) Spirit" ( :-). have crucified the flesh—They nailed it to the cross once for all when they became Christ's, on believing and being baptized (Romans 6:3; Romans 6:4): they keep it now in a state of crucifixion (Romans 6:6): so that the Spirit can produce in them, comparatively uninterrupted by it, "the fruit of the Spirit" (Romans 6:6- :). "Man, by faith, is dead to the former... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 5:16-26

3. Living by the Holy Spirit 5:16-26Paul had told his readers that they should not live either under the Mosaic Law or licentiously. Now he gave positive direction and explained what the leading of the Holy Spirit means. He did this so his readers would know how to live to the glory of God as Christians. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 5:24

The Christian has crucified the flesh in the sense that when he or she trusted Christ God broke the domination of his or her sinful nature. While we still have a sinful human nature, it does not control us as it did before we trusted in Christ (cf. Romans 6:6-7). Paul said we, not God, have crucified it. We did this when we trusted in Jesus Christ as our Savior (cf. Galatians 2:20). Therefore it is inconsistent for us to return to the flesh. "Passions" (Gr. pathemata, cf. Romans 7:5) are the... read more
