Gálatas 3:8 NVT

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Galatians 3:1-29

The Sublimest Gift of God Gal 3:7 No matter where they were born, they may call Abraham "father." They were born Gentiles or pagans or savages, but by faith they may be made members of a noble and majestic lineage. This is what God is always doing; making the first last, and the last first, and showing men, that whatever point they may start from, they may by certain processes become associated with the most royal and exalted of human history. That you were born in obscurity is nothing; you... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Galatians 3:6-9

(6) ¶ Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. (7) Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. (8) And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (9) So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. It w as a very blessed plan, the Apostle here adopted, for the better confirmation of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:6-14

6-14 The apostle proves the doctrine he had blamed the Galatians for rejecting; namely, that of justification by faith without the works of the law. This he does from the example of Abraham, whose faith fastened upon the word and promise of God, and upon his believing he was owned and accepted of God as a righteous man. The Scripture is said to foresee, because the Holy Spirit that indited the Scripture did foresee. Through faith in the promise of God he was blessed; and it is only in the same... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Galatians 3:1-99

Galations 3 THE APOSTLE CALLS them “foolish” or senseless, for they had not themselves had the spiritual sense to see whither these false teachers had been leading them. They had been like men bewitched, and under a spell of evil, and they had been led to the brink of the awful conclusion that Christ had died for nothing that His death had been in fact a huge mistake! On the edge of this precipice they were standing, and the Apostle’s pungent reasoning had come as a flash of light amidst their... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Galatians 3:6-9

Paul brings Scripture-proof for his position: v. 6. Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. v. 7. Know ye, therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. v. 8. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. v. 9. So, then, they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. The apostle here... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Galatians 3:1-10

Righteousness Based on Faith Galatians 3:1-10 The strong tendency of the Galatian Christians to depend upon ceremonies or upon legal obedience, in addition to their faith in Christ, elicits in this chapter a magnificent demonstration of the simplicity and sufficiency of faith alone. Faith had underlain the commencement of their Christian life, Galatians 3:1-5 . They had found peace with God through faith. Through faith they had received the fullness of the Holy Spirit. As they had begun,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:1-29

Here begins the second division of the epistle, in which Paul deals with the doctrine of liberty. He begins with the exclamation, "O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you?" He then inquired, Did they receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or, having begun in the Spirit, are they now perfected in the flesh? Was their suffering in vain? Was that Spirit supplied, and those miracles wrought by the works of the law? The answers to these questions are perfectly clear, and reveal a positive... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:1-9

Paul Confirms What He Has Said By Pointing Out That Every Blessing They Have Received Was Received Through Faith (Galatians 3:1-9 ). Paul now reminds the Galatians of how they first came to Christ, and what had been their experience then. They had responded to the working of the Holy Spirit. They had believed in Christ as their Saviour and Lord. They had accepted free forgiveness through the cross. Surely then they will not now try to be saved by their own actions and by following someone... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:8-9

‘And the Scripture, foreseeing that by faith God accounts as righteous the Gentiles, preached the Gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “in you shall all the nations be blessed”. So then those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.’ Furthermore the Scripture make crystal clear that the Gentiles will be accounted righteous by faith for it says that it is in Abraham, in believing Abraham, that all the nations will be blessed. So the blessing of God comes on all those who, like... read more
