Gálatas 4:16-31 RVA

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:18

But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you ( καλὸν δὲ ζηλοῦσθαι , [Receptus, τὸ ζηλοῦσθαι ] ἐν καλῷ παντότε καὶ μὴ μόνον ἐν τῷ παρεῖναί με πρὸς ὑμᾶς ); but good it is to be admired , in what is good , at all times and not only when I am present with you. That is, but as to being admired and felicitated, the good kind of admiring felicitation is that which, being tendered on a good account, is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:19

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you ( τεκνία μου [or, τέκνα μου ] οὔς πάλιν ὠδίνω ἄρχις οὗ μορφωθῇ χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν ); my little children (or, my children ) of whom I am again in travail , until Christ be formed in you. It has been above remarked to be doubtful whether this verse should be conjoined with the preceding verse or with that which follows. The objection to the latter arrangement, presented by the δὲ ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:19-20

A tender appeal to his converts. The Epistle alternates from reproof to argument and from argument to entreaty. I. THE APOSTLE 'S EARNEST DESIRE FOR THEIR GROWTH INTO SPIRITUAL MANHOOD . "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again till Christ be formed in you." 1 . Mark the tenderness of his address. "My little children;" implying 2 . Mark his deep anxiety on their account. "Of whom I travail in birth again." The idea not being so much that of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:20

I desire to be present with you now ( ἤθελον δὲ παρεῖναι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἄρτι ); I could wish to be present with you this very hour. The δὲ marks here simply a transition to another thought, and, as is not unfrequently the case, and as our Authorized Version assumes, needs not to be represented in translation at all. Bishop Lightfoot writes, " But , speaking of my presence, I would I had been present ," etc. But this explanation is not necessary. The imperfect verb ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:21

Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law ( λέγετέ μοι οἱ ὑπὸ νόμον θέλοντες εἶναι ). After the outburst of affectionate earnestness expressed in the last four verses, the apostle seems to have paused, reflecting in what way he could the most effectually convince these Galatian legalists of their error. At length, a consideration occurs to him, which he impetuously so to speak hastens to abruptly sot before them. He has before ( Galatians 3:29 ) shown to the Galatian... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:21-23

An appeal to Bible history. "Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law, do ye not hear the Law?" The apostle makes a fresh appeal to convince the Galatians of the essential difference between the Law and the promise. The reasoning is conveyed in language of affectionate remonstrance. Consider— I. THE IMPORTANCE OF HIS ARGUMENT . The Law itself, upon which the Galatians laid such stress, showed that they were not meant to be under it. If he could prove from the Law of Moses... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:21-31

The allegory of Hagar. Writing to men who were unduly subservient to the Jewish Law, St. Paul clenches his argument with an appeal to what he regards as the typical meaning of the history contained in that very Law. This was an argumentum ad homines. It is important, when possible, to convince men on their own ground. Among believers in Scripture, arguments are naturally drawn from Scripture, Only it is necessary to bear in mind that there are different "views ' of Scripture; so that we... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:22

For it is written ( γέγραπται γάρ ); for the Scripture saith. The phrase does not here, as it does usually, introduce the citation of a text, but prefaces a brief summary of facts; these facts being recited in words gathered out of the Septuagint Version of Genesis 16:1-16 . and 21., in much the same way as the story of Melchisedec is sketched in Hebrews 7:1-4 . That Abraham had two sons ( ὅτι ἀβραὰμ δύο υἱοὺς ἔσχεν ); that Abraham had gotten two sons ; for ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:23

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh ( ἀλλ ̓ ὁ μὲν ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης κατὰ σάρκα γεγέννηται ); howbeit the son by the handmaid is shown as born (or, begotten ) after the flesh. The ἀλλὰ is strongly adversative; both, indeed, were sons of Abraham, but there was a marked distinction in the way in which they severally came into being. The apostle has evidently in his eye the analogy presented by the natural birth of the Jewish descendants from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:24

Which things are an allegory ( ἅτινά ἐστιν ἀλληγορούμενα ); which things are written (or, expounded ) with a further meaning. The relative ἅτινα , as distinguished from ἅ , probably means "which facts, being of this description, are," etc., or, "things, which are of such a sort that they are," etc. (comp. Colossians 2:23 in the Greek). The apostle, perhaps, intimates that the particulars just recited by him belong to a class of objects distinguished among other... read more
