Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:1-14

Galatians 3:1 to Galatians 5:12 . Doctrinal Section. Paul Sets the Choice before them— Christ or the Law— and Argues for its Urgency. Galatians 3:1-2 Chronicles : . It was a strange folly which could lead them to forget the picture, so plainly shown them, of the suffering Saviour. ( 1 ) Their own experience had been of “ the Spirit,” as ( a) the source of ecstatic prayer ( Galatians 4:6), in which the sacred scrap of Aramaic speech ( Mark 14:36) once used by Jesus was employed throughout... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:10

The argument is this: Those that are under a curse cannot be under the blessing of justification: but those that are under the law are under the curse. This he proves out of the law, Deuteronomy 27:26, where those are pronounced cursed, who continue not in all things written in the book of the law to do them. To be under the law, is, under the covenant of works, or under the expectation of life and salvation only from obedience to the works of the law. These (he saith) are under the curse: the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 3:10-14

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 3:10. As many as are of the works of the law are under the curse.—This the Scripture itself declares. It utters an anathema against all who fail to fulfil every single ordinance contained in the book of the law (Deuteronomy 27:26).Galatians 3:13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse.—Bought us off from our bondage and from the curse under which all lie who trust to the law. The ransom price He paid was His own precious blood (1 Peter 1:18-19). Cursed is... read more

DISCOURSE: 2061THE SPIRITUALITY AND SANCTIONS OF THE LAWGalatians 3:10. As many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.THE reason that Christianity is so little understood, is, that men are not aware of the occasion which there is for such a dispensation as the Gospel contains. They know not the state in which they are by nature; and therefore they cannot... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:1-29

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Galatians chapter three. Background: Paul the apostle had been in the area of Galatia. Galatia was a general area like a county or a state. It was not a city. There were many churches established there. After Paul's departure, other teachers came in declaring that the people could not be saved by a simple faith in Jesus Christ, but must also to that faith add the obedience to the law and the rituals of the law of circumcision. And many of the people in those... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 3:1-29

Galatians 3:1 . Oh foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you: εβασκανε , who hath fascinated, beguiled, or seduced you by subtlety and cunning, and sought by ingenious malice to draw you from the truth and glory of a crucified Redeemer. The jews and greeks, on seeing Christ set before them, as he is in the scriptures, first suffering and then entering into his glory, have believed on him, and most of them believed under the first sermon they heard. Why then should you, oh misguided men, be... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Galatians 3:10

Galatians 3:10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse.The curse and its removalI. The curse of the law is of universal application. All are born under the law, and are bound to observe it. But all have broken it, and their guilt remains. There is no question of mercy here. Law, viewed in itself, knows no mercy. It pronounces a man righteous only on condition of perfect obedience. The chain is severed, though only one link be broken. The cable which joins two continents... read more
