Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 3:13-14

Galatians 3:13-14. Christ Christ alone; the abruptness of the sentence shows a holy indignation at those who reject so great a blessing; hath redeemed us Or, hath bought us off, whether Jews or Gentiles; from the curse of the law The curse which the law denounces against all transgressors of it, or the punishment threatened to them. Dr. Whitby proves, in his note on this verse, that the violation of the law given to Adam was attended with a curse, as well as that given to the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:6-14

Example of Abraham (3:6-14)Abraham’s life demonstrates that God justifies on the basis of faith, not law-keeping. (To understand the illustrations that follow, read Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 13:14-18; Genesis 15:1-6; Genesis 22:15-18.) Abraham was justified not because he kept the law, but because he believed God. The law, with its rules about circumcision, had not yet been given. The real children of Abraham are not those who have been circumcised according to the law, but those who have been... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 3:14

That upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.In Christ Jesus ... This is the cornerstone and foundation of the gospel Paul (and all the apostles) preached. The Gentiles will be blessed, along with Abraham, "in Christ," thus becoming technically part of Christ's spiritual body, therefore truly of "the seed singular" of Abraham, which is Christ. See under Galatians 3:16, where Paul elaborated this.Through... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:14

Galatians 3:14. That the blessing, &c.— That the blessing, Galatians 3:8-9; Galatians 3:14 justification, Gal 3:11 and being the children of God, Gal 3:26 are in effect all the same, on the one side; and that the curse, Gal 3:13 is the direct contrary, on the other side, is so plain in St. Paul's discourse here, that nobody who reads it with the least attention can be in any doubt. His argument, to convince the Galatians that they ought not to be circumcised, or to submit to the law, on... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:14

14. The intent of "Christ becoming a curse for us"; "To the end that upon the Gentiles the blessing of Abraham (that is, promised to Abraham, namely, justification by faith) might come in Christ Jesus" (compare Galatians 3:8). that we might receive the promise of the Spirit—the promised Spirit (Joel 2:28; Joel 2:29; Luke 24:49). This clause follows not the clause immediately preceding (for our receiving the Spirit is not the result of the blessing of Abraham coming on the Gentiles), but "Christ... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 3:6-14

2. The Scriptural argument 3:6-14Next Paul appealed to Scripture to defend salvation by faith alone. To refute the legalists Paul first argued that it is incorrect to say that only through conformity to the Law could people become sons of Abraham (Galatians 3:6-9). Second, he argued that by the logic of the legalists those whose standing the Law determines are under the curse of the Law, not special blessing (Galatians 3:10-14). read more

The curse of works 3:10-14"In Galatians 3:6-9 Paul set forth a positive argument for justification by faith. In Galatians 3:10-14 he turned the tables and argued negatively against the possibility of justification by works." [Note: George, p. 227. Cf. Lightfoot, p. 137.] read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 3:14

Christ’s death has resulted in two blessings. The blessing of justification that Abraham enjoyed has become available to the Gentiles, as has the blessing of the promised Holy Spirit’s ministry to believers (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:33).". . . at several points in the argument of Galatians 3 Paul so parallels or intertwines the categories of being justified and receiving the Spirit that we can draw the conclusion: the experience of the Spirit and the status of justification are, for the apostle,... read more
