Galatians 5:14

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 5:13-15

Galatians 5:13-Ezra : . First safeguard. They are free indeed, and as Christians are done with Law; but love will save them from indulging lower impulses. Love (as Jesus taught, Mark 12:31 and parallels) includes everything (more fully Romans 13:9 f.). Paul fears cruel partisanships in Galatia— love will prove a remedy. Galatians 5:16-Jeremiah : . Second safeguard— the Spirit; a source not only of trust in God, but of moral activity. Spirit and “ flesh,” the renewed nature and the lower... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 5:14

The whole will of God, containing our duty towards men, is reducible to this one thing, love; for whatsoever God hath commanded us to do towards men, is but a brauch from this root, and must flow from love as its principle. Or, the whole will of God concerning man is fulfilled in this one thing of love; where love to God is not excluded, but supposed, as the root of our love to our neighbour; for our neighbour is to be loved for God. Thus Romans 8:8; He that loveth another hath fulfilled the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Galatians 5:1-26

Shall we turn now to Galatians chapter five. The whole concept is: how do I establish a righteous standing before God? Can I be righteous by keeping the law? Or am I righteous by my simple faith in Jesus Christ? Now, Paul taught righteousness through faith. There followed Paul teachers, Judaizers who brought another gospel, which was not really a gospel. For they were saying that was it was necessary to be circumcised and to keep the law of Moses in order to be righteous before God, to be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 5:1-26

Galatians 5:1 . Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, by the redemption he has procured through the shedding of his own most precious blood. The liberty of your celestial birth, comprising pardon, and all the blessings of the new covenant. The power to leave the galling rituals of the law behind, and put on the garments of righteousness, as the sons of Abraham and of Sarah. The yoke of bondage is now superseded by divine adoption, which makes us sons of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Galatians 5:14

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Ver. 14. For all the law ] i.e. All the second table. The Scripture often appropriateth the law to the second table, as Romans 13:8 ; Ephesians 6:2 , &c. A man must exercise the first table in the second, the duties of his general calling in his particular calling. In the first commandment, saith Luther, the keeping of all the laws is enjoined, Primo praecepto reliquorum omnium... read more
