Galatians 1:16

16. Reveal To mankind.

In me By a work inwrought within me, and flowing out, in revelation, from me.

With flesh and blood With unregenerate nature, (Matthew 16:17; 1 Corinthians 15:50; Ephesians 6:12;) whether my own or any other man’s. For as Paul has thus far in the matter shown God’s operations, so now he shows man’s co-operations. God works and man co-works; God energizes and man synergizes. Unless both work no blessed effect results. He who shuts out God’s work becomes Pelagian and rationalistic; he who shuts out man’s work becomes predestinarian and fatalistic. As Paul tells us (Acts 9:9) that he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, so now he tells us he conferred not with flesh and blood. It was not only easy for him to become, like Judas, a fallen star, but it required all his volitional energy to keep his body under, to prevent it.
