Galatians 3:26-27

Geneva Study Bible - Galatians 3:27

3:27 {28} For as many of you as have been {y} baptized into Christ have {z} put on Christ.(28) Using the words "many of you", lest the Jews should think themselves free from the ordinance of baptism, he pronounces that baptism is common to all believers, because it is a outward sign of our delivery in Christ, to the Jews as well as to the Greeks, that by this means all may be truly one in Christ, that is to say, that promised seed to Abraham, and inheritors of everlasting life.(y) He sets forth... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:1-29

FAITH IS THE ONE PRINCIPLE OF BLESSING (vs.1-9) "0 foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you?" (v.1). Little wonder, as Paul considers the principles and tremendous issues involved, that he speaks out in words of earnest remonstrance and entreaty. Had it not been portrayed before their very eyes, preached with diligent insistence, that Jesus Christ had been crucified? Would they again exchange the blessedness and joy of the knowledge of the Son of God, who had willingly given Himself for... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:1-29

JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH Having established his authority as an apostle, and his right to expound the Gospel he had received, Paul now enters upon the elucidation of the latter, or rather proceeds to the defense of its cardinal teaching. This is the doctrine that man is justified only by faith in Jesus Christ without the works of the law. The same doctrine was enlarged upon in Romans, only there he was expressing the Divine side of its truth while here he is showing the human side. There he... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Galatians 3:1-29

The Sublimest Gift of God Gal 3:7 No matter where they were born, they may call Abraham "father." They were born Gentiles or pagans or savages, but by faith they may be made members of a noble and majestic lineage. This is what God is always doing; making the first last, and the last first, and showing men, that whatever point they may start from, they may by certain processes become associated with the most royal and exalted of human history. That you were born in obscurity is nothing; you... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Galatians 3:21-29

(21) Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. (22) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. (23) But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. (24) Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:26-29

26-29 Real Christians enjoy great privileges under the gospel; and are no longer accounted servants, but sons; not now kept at such a distance, and under such restraints as the Jews were. Having accepted Christ Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, and relying on him alone for justification and salvation, they become the sons of God. But no outward forms or profession can secure these blessings; for if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. In baptism we put on Christ; therein we... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Galatians 3:1-99

Galations 3 THE APOSTLE CALLS them “foolish” or senseless, for they had not themselves had the spiritual sense to see whither these false teachers had been leading them. They had been like men bewitched, and under a spell of evil, and they had been led to the brink of the awful conclusion that Christ had died for nothing that His death had been in fact a huge mistake! On the edge of this precipice they were standing, and the Apostle’s pungent reasoning had come as a flash of light amidst their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Galatians 3:23-29

The Law's pedagogical task has now been completed: v. 23. But before faith came, we were kept under the Law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. v. 24. Wherefore the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. v. 25. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. v. 26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. v. 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have... read more

(Galatians 3:19 to Galatians 4:7.)a. The law had its own sufficient end, having respect to transgressions, and so far from opposing to the promises, it had the office of preparing the way for their fulfilment, as a schoolmaster unto ChristFootnotes:Galatians 3:15; Galatians 3:15—[Κεκυρωμένην, simply “confirmed.” If anything be supplied, it need not be in the conditional form of the E.
