Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:10

Galatians 5:10. Will be none otherwise minded:— "Will beware of this leaven, so as not to be put into a ferment, nor shaken in your liberty, in which you ought to stand fast: and, to secure it, I doubt not, (such confidence I have in you) you will, with one accord, cast out him that troubleth you. For, as for me, you may be sure I am not for circumcision, in that the Jews continue to persecute me." This is evidently the Apostle's meaning, though not spoken out, but managed warily, with a very... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:11

Galatians 5:11. Persecution?— The persecution which St. Paul was still under, was a convincing argument that he was not for circumcision and subjection to the law; for it was from the Jews, upon that account, that at this time arose almost all the persecutions which the Christians suffered;—as may be seen throughout the history of the Acts: nor are there wanting clear footsteps of it in several other places of this Epistle, as ch. Gal 3:4 Galatians 6:12-14. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:12

Galatians 5:12. I would they were even cut off which trouble you.— Who subvert or unsettle you. It by no means agrees with the gentle genius of Christianity to suppose that this Apostle, who understood it so well, and cultivated it so much, should mean by this to intimate that he wished these troublers dead; or that any bodily evil were inflicted upon them by human violence. All arguments, therefore, which are drawn from this text in favour of persecuting principles, must be veryinconclusive:... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:13

Galatians 5:13. Only use not liberty— From the mention of liberty, to which St. Paul tells them they are called under the gospel, he takes occasion to caution them respecting the use of it, and so exhorts them to a spiritual or true Christian life; shewing the difference and contrariety between that and a carnal life, or a life after the flesh, Galatians 5:13-26. The word δουλευετε, rendered serve, has a greater force in the Greek than our English word serve expresses, in the common... read more

8. This persuasion—Greek, "The persuasion," namely, to which you are yielding. There is a play on words in the original, the Greek for persuasion being akin to "obey" ( :-). This persuasion which ye have obeyed. cometh not of—that is "from." Does not emanate from Him, but from an enemy. that calleth you— (Galatians 5:13; Galatians 1:6; Philippians 3:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:24). The calling is the rule of the whole race [BENGEL]. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Galatians 5:9

9. A little leaven—the false teaching of the Judaizers. A small portion of legalism, if it be mixed with the Gospel, corrupts its purity. To add legal ordinances and works in the least degree to justification by faith, is to undermine "the whole." So "leaven" is used of false doctrine (Matthew 16:12: compare Matthew 13:33). In Matthew 13:33- : it means the corrupting influence of one bad person; so BENGEL understands it here to refer to the person (Galatians 5:7; Galatians 5:8; Galatians 5:10)... read more

10. Greek, "I (emphatical: 'I on my part') have confidence in the Lord with regard to you (2 Thessalonians 3:4), that ye will be none otherwise minded" (than what by this Epistle I desire you to be, 2 Thessalonians 3:4- :). but he that troubleth you— (Galatians 1:7; Acts 15:24; Joshua 7:25; 1 Kings 18:17; 1 Kings 18:18).

11. Translate, "If I am still preaching (as I did before conversion) circumcision, why am I still persecuted?" The Judaizing troubler of the Galatians had said, "Paul himself preaches circumcision," as is shown by his having circumcised Timothy ( :-; compare also :-). Paul replies by anticipation of their objection, As regards myself, the fact that I am still persecuted by the Jews shows plainly that I do not preach circumcision; for it is just because I preach Christ crucified, and not the... read more

12. they . . . which trouble you—Translate, as the Greek is different from :-, "they who are unsettling you." were even cut off—even as they desire your foreskin to be cut off and cast away by circumcision, so would that they were even cut off from your communion, being worthless as a castaway foreskin (Galatians 1:7; Galatians 1:8; compare Galatians 1:8- :). The fathers, JEROME, AMBROSE, AUGUSTINE, and CHRYSOSTOM, explain it, "Would that they would even cut themselves off," that is, cut off... read more

13. The "ye" is emphatical, from its position in the Greek, "Ye brethren"; as opposed to those legalists "who trouble you." unto liberty—The Greek expresses, "on a footing of liberty." The state or condition in which ye have been called to salvation, is one of liberty. Gospel liberty consists in three things, freedom from the Mosaic yoke, from sin, and from slavish fear. only, c.—Translate, "Only turn not your liberty into an occasion for the flesh."
