Galatians 3:14, Galatians 3:2, Galatians 3:3 KJV

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 3:10-14

(10) For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (11) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. (12) And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. (13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written,... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:10-14

Are under a curse....cursed is every man, &c. The sense of these is to be found Deuteronomy xxvii. 26. in the Septuagint. Some expound them thus: curses are pronounced against every one who keeps not all the precepts of the law, but there is not any one; i.e. scarce any one, who keepeth them all; therefore all under the law are under some curse. But as it cannot be said that no one kept all the precepts, especially the moral precepts of the law, mentioned in that place of Deuteronomy; (for... 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

Frank Binford Hole

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Galatians 3:10-14

Paul's opponents are subject to the curse of the broken Law: v. 10. For 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. v. 11. But that no man is justified by the Law in the sight of God, it is evident; for, the just shall live by faith. v. 12. And the Law is not of faith; but, the man that doeth them shall live in them. v. 13. Christ hath redeemed... read more

B. Doctrinal ExpositionGalatians 3:6 to Galatians 4:7.1. Salvation is not to be attained by works of the law, but through faith alone(Galatians 3:6-18).a. Demonstration from Scripture(Galatians 3:6-14.)6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.7Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children [sons] of 8Abraham. And [Moreover] the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify [or justifieth]11 the heathen [Gentiles] through faith,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Galatians 3:11-19

Inheritors of the Promise Galatians 3:11-19 We are not under ceremonial law, as contained in the precepts of Leviticus. Our Savior has perfectly fulfilled them on the behalf of the Jewish people, whom He represented from His birth until His death. The law of ordinances is then abrogated on their behalf; and we Gentiles have never been placed under its thrall. As to the curse that is uttered against every one, whether Jew or Gentile, that offends against the moral code declared in the Ten... 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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Galatians 3:10-29

The Cross and Its Objectives Galatians 3:10-29 ; Galatians 4:1-6 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Cross must ever stand forth in the limelight of Bible and spiritual study. Apart from Christ's Calvary work we have nothing to present to a dying world. On one occasion the president of a college told us that his chief ambition was to present to his students the beautiful life of Jesus of Nazareth. We immediately replied that there could be no excessive imitation of the life of Christ until first of all... read more
