Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:7

Ye did run well - The Christian life is often represented as a race; see the notes at 1 Corinthians 9:24-26. Paul means here, that they began the Christian life with ardour and zeal; compare Galatians 4:15.Who did hinder you - Margin, “Drive you back.” The word used here (ἀνακόπτω anakoptō) means properly to beat or drive back. Hence, it means to hinder, check, or retard. Dr. Doddridge remarks that this is “an Olympic expression, and properly signifies “coming across the course” while a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:8

This persuasion - This belief that it is necessary to obey the laws of Moses, and to intermingle the observance of Jewish rites with the belief of the Christian doctrines in order to be saved.Not of him that calleth you - That is, of God, who had called them into his kingdom. That it refers to God and not to Paul is plain. They knew well enough that Paul had not persuaded them to it, and it was important now to show them that it could not be traced to God, though they who taught it pretended to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:9

A little leaven ... - This is evidently a proverbial expression; see it explained in the notes at 1 Corinthians 5:6. Its meaning here is, that the embracing of the errors which they had adopted was to be traced to some influence existing among themselves, and acting like leaven. It may either mean that there was existing among them from the first a slight tendency to conform to rites and customs, and that this had now like leaven pervaded the mass; or it may mean that the false teachers there... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 5:7-10

Galatians 5:7-10. Ye did run well In the race of faith, love, and obedience; in true, genuine Christianity; believing its truths, experiencing its graces, enjoying its privileges, performing its duties. The exercises of faith and holiness, enjoined in the gospel, are often in Scripture compared to the ancient athletic exercises of the Greeks, especially to the race; because in that exercise the greatest exertions of activity and strength were necessary to obtain the prize, Hebrews 12:1. ... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 5:7

Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?In all Paul's writings, he sought to lead people into "the obedience of faith"; and his writings in Galatians do not deviate from that invariable purpose.Who did hinder you ... The original meaning of the word translated hinder is to break up a road, as an army before the advance of hostile forces."[10] A paraphrase of this metaphor, is "Who tore up the race track in front of you?"That ye should not obey the truth ...... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 5:8

This persuasion came not of him that calleth you.This simply has the meaning that "their disobedience of Christ's teachings, due to fooling around with Judaism, did not come of anything that Christ, who had called them through the gospel, had taught them." read more
