ガラテヤ人への手紙 3:2-5 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 3:5

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you ( ὁ οὖν ἐπιχορηγῶν ὑμῖν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἐνεργῶν δυνάμεις ἐν ὑμῖν ); he then that sup-plieth to you the Spirit and worketh powers in you , or, miracles among you. The "then" marks the taking up afresh of the topic brought forward in Galatians 3:2 , with especial prominence given here to the miraculous manifestations of the Spirit's presence. The argumentative treatment of this topic of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:2

This only would I learn of you - I would ask this of you; retaining still the language of severe reproof. The design here, and in the following verses, is, to prove to them that the views which they had at first embraced were correct, and that the views which they now cherished were false To show them this, he asks them the simple question, by what means they had obtained the exalted privileges which they enjoyed? Whether they had obtained them by the simple gospel, or whether by the observance... read more

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

Are ye so foolish? - Can it be that you are so unwise? The idea is, that Paul hardly thought it credible that they could have pursued such a course. They had so cordially embraced the gospel when he preached to them, they had given such evidences that they were under its influence, that he regarded it as hardly possible that they should have so far abandoned it as to embrace such a system as they had done.Having begun in the Spirit - That is, when the gospel was first preached to them. They had... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:4

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? - Paul reminds them of what they had endured on account of their attachment to Christianity. He assures them, that if the opinions on account of which they had suffered were false, then their sufferings had been in vain. They were of no use to them - for what advantage was it to suffer for a false opinion? The opinions for which they had suffered had not been these which they now embraced. They were not those connected with the observance of the Jewish... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:5

He therefore that ministereth ... - This verse contains substantially a repetition of the argument in Galatians 3:2. The argument is, that the gift of the Holy Spirit to them was not imparted in consequence of the observance of the Law of Moses, but in connection with the preaching of the gospel. By the word “he” in this place, Clarke, Doddridge, Bloomfield, Chandler, Locke and many others, suppose that the apostle means himself Bloomfield says, that it is the common opinion of “all the ancient... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 3:2-4

Galatians 3:2-4. This only would I learn of you That is, this one argument might convince you; received ye the Spirit In his gifts and graces, in his witness and fruits. See Galatians 4:6; Galatians 5:22. By the works of the law By your observing the ceremonies of Moses’s law, or by your embracing the doctrine which inculcates the necessity of complying with these rites? or by the hearing of faith By receiving and obeying that doctrine, which teaches that justification is attained by... read more

Galatians 3:5-9. He therefore Namely, God; that ministereth to you the Spirit Who is continually giving you additional supplies of grace by the Spirit; and worketh miracles, &c. Bestows the extraordinary gifts of the Spirit upon you; doeth he it by the works of the law Through your hearing and embracing the doctrine of those who inculcate the necessity of observing the ceremonies of the law; or by the hearing of faith By your hearing, receiving, and acquiescing in the doctrine... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:1-5

3:1-4:31 LAW-KEEPING HAS NO PLACE IN THE GOSPELExperience of the Galatians (3:1-5)When the Galatians first heard the gospel from Paul, they understood clearly that salvation was based solely on Christ’s death, and they gladly received it by faith. Now, because they have fallen under the power of the Judaisers, they have turned from this gospel and are trying to live according to the law (3:1-2). If the almighty power of God’s Spirit was necessary to save them from the penalty of sin, how do... read more
