Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:26

Let us not be desirous of vainglory - The word used here (κενόδοξοι kenodoxoi) means “proud” or “vain” of empty advantages, as of birth, property, eloquence, or learning. The reference here is probably to the paltry competitions which arose on account of these supposed advantages. It is possible that this might have been one cause of the difficulties existing in the churches of Galatia, and the apostle is anxious wholly to check and remove it. The Jews prided themselves on their birth, and... read more

Galatians 5:25-26. If we live in, or by, the Spirit If we are indeed raised from the death of sin, and made alive to God by the operation of his Spirit, and if this spiritual life is continued to us by his indwelling presence in our souls; let us walk by and in the Spirit Being under his influence, and following his guidance in all our thoughts, tempers, words, and actions. See on Galatians 5:16. Let us not be desirous of vain glory Of the praise or esteem of men. They who do not... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 5:13-26

True freedom; true Christianity (5:13-26)Christian freedom does not mean that believers may do as they like. On the contrary, they must think of others and act to please them. This is what the law commands, but those who want to put themselves under the law cannot do it. Instead they are unkind and cruel to each other. The goal that the law aims at is not reached by trying to keep the law, but by acting with true Christian liberty (13-15).Sooner or later Christians find that they do not always... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 5:26

Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.Vain-glory and jealousy are two of the fundamental fleshly lusts, especially degrading and unbecoming in the church of Jesus Christ. Nothing that anyone is or has is of himself, but of God. As Russell said: `Even Jesus said, `The Son can do nothing of himself' (John 5:19)."[17] All of the miracles of our Lord were done as a result of prayer to the Father. See John 11:42 and comment in my Commentary on John. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:26

Galatians 5:26. Envying one another.— Whether the vain-glory and envying here were about their spiritual gifts, (a fault whereof the Corinthians were guilty, as we may see at large 1 Corinthians 12:13, 1 Corinthians 12:14) or upon any other occasion, or on any other account, and so contained in Gal 5:15 of this chapter, is not very important to inquire; either way the sense of the words will be much the same. Inferences, drawn from Galatians 5:13.*—There is not a more valuable blessing in human... read more

26. Greek, "Let us not BECOME." While not asserting that the Galatians are "vainglorious" now, he says they are liable to become so. provoking one another—an effect of "vaingloriousness" on the stronger: as "envying" is its effect on the weaker. A danger common both to the orthodox and Judaizing Galatians. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 5:26

This last verse seems to be an application of this principle to the specific Galatian situation."This is a very instructive verse because it shows that our conduct to others is determined by our opinion of ourselves." [Note: Stott, p. 156.] "To ’be conceited’ is to boast of things that are insignificant and lacking in true worth, whether the boaster actually has them or only imagines that he has them or desires to have them." [Note: Fung, p. 277. Cf. Burton, p. 324.] Liberty lies between... read more
