Gálatas 2:15-3:2 NVIPT

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 2:15

We who are Jews by nature - It has long been a question whether this and the following verses are to be regarded as a part of the address of Paul to Peter, or the words of Paul as a part of the Epistle to the Galatians. A great variety of opinion has prevailed in regard to this. Grotius says, “Here the narrative of Paul being closed, he pursues his argument to the Galatians.” In this opinion Bloomfield and many others concur. Rosenmuller and many others suppose that the address to Peter is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 2:15-16

Galatians 2:15-16. We St. Paul, to spare St. Peter, drops the first person singular, and speaks in the plural number; Galatians 2:18, he speaks in the first person singular again by a figure, and without a figure, Galatians 2:19, &c. Who are Jews by nature By birth, and not proselytes. As in the first part of his discourse, where the apostle speaks only of himself and Peter, he meant to speak of all the teachers of the gospel; so in this second part, where he describes his own state,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:11-21

Saved by faith alone (2:11-21)Being assured of the fellowship of the Jerusalem leaders, Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch (see Acts 12:25). From there they set out on their first missionary journey (see Acts 13:1-3). On returning to Antioch at the end of the journey, they came into conflict with a group of Judaisers who had come from Jerusalem. These men claimed to have the authority of James, and taught that Christians should keep the Jewish laws concerning food, circumcision and other... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 2:15

But we being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, and not by the works of law; because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (KJV)This passage announces the great theme of Galatians, which is Justification by the Faith of Christ; and the key words in it have been properly rendered,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 2:15

Galatians 2:15. We who are Jews, &c.— What the Jews thought of themselves, in contradistinction to the Gentiles, see Romans 2:17-23. Dr. Heylin observes, that sinner here, and Gal 2:17 and often elsewhere, signifies "a man in the state of nature, before that application of the merits of Christ which is termed justification." Christ is not the minister of sin, (as Galatians 2:17.) to save such, while they continue in that state. He saves onlythose who, renouncing themselves, are justified... read more

15, 16. Connect these verses together, and read with most of the oldest manuscripts "But" in the beginning of Galatians 2:16: "We (I and thou, Peter) by nature (not by proselytism), Jews, and not sinners as (Jewish language termed the Gentiles) from among the Gentiles, YET (literally, 'BUT') knowing that . . . even we (resuming the 'we' of Galatians 2:16- :, 'we also,' as well as the Gentile sinners; casting away trust in the law), have believed," &c. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 2:15-16

Some interpreters believe Paul’s words to Peter continue through the end of chapter 2 (e.g., NASB, NIV, NKJV). [Note: See also The New Scofield Reference Bible note.] Others believe they end with Galatians 2:14 (e.g., RSV, NRSV, NET). It seems more likely to me that they end with Galatians 2:14."This verse [15] and the next form a single, overloaded sentence in the Greek; they have been aptly described as ’Paul’s doctrine of justification in a nutshell’ . . ." [Note: Fung, p. 112. His quotation... read more

His Authority recognised by the Apostles at Jerusalem and maintained in his Conflict with St. Peter1-10. It was not until upon the occasion of a subsequent visit to Jerusalem fourteen years later that St. Paul had laid his gospel before the chief authorities there, and they had approved of all that he had done and taught.Paraphrase. ’(1) It was fourteen years before I again visited Jerusalem, in company with Barnabas and Titus. (2) It was an impulse from the Spirit which led me to go and... read more
