Galatians 2:20

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:1-21

Chapter 2Then fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and I took Titus with me also ( Galatians 2:1 ).So Paul no doubt had been ministering in Syria and Cilicia, the area around Tarsus, his home city, his hometown, and there had been Gentiles that he had brought to the faith of Jesus Christ, Titus being one of them. Now Barnabas, one of the brethren in the church there in Jerusalem decided to go to Tarsus because there was a work of God being accomplished in Antioch and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 2:1-21

Galatians 2:1-2 . Then fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem, and took Titus, his fellow-labourer. Luke adds, “and others also.” Acts 15:2. We may gather from this, that Luke was of the company. I went up by revelation, says the apostle, or by a special direction from heaven. Strong remonstrances had been made by the deputation sent from Jerusalem, against the admission of the “multitude” of gentile converts into the church, without first subjecting them to the ceremonial... read more

Galatians 2:20-21I am crucified with Christ.The believer’s riddleThis verse enunciates three striking paradoxes which are realized in the experience of every Christian.I. The judicial paradox, or the mystery of the believer’s legal standing. The believer, be it remembered, is a dead man to begin with, i.e., before he becomes a believer. In his natural condition he is an unpardoned transgressor, and therefore in the law’s eye as good as dead. He is already taken, charged, tried, convicted,... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Galatians 2:20

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.The Apostle goes on to describe how he is freed from sin; how far he is from continuing therein.I am crucified with Christ — Made conformable to his death; "the body of sin is destroyed." Romans 6:6.And I — As to my corrupt nature.Live no longer — Being dead to sin.But Christ liveth in me —... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 2:11-21

4. Paul’s apostolic rebuke of the apostle Peter, Galatians 2:11-21. This is the closing step of Paul’s proof of the reality and independence of his apostleship. The proof rises in climax. First, he lived for years apart from the apostles; next, he met and was acknowledged by them; last, he encountered the chief apostle and successfully rebuked him rebuked him upon the very point in debate among the Galatians circumcision. Not only was this climax truly conclusive for the Galatians, but it is... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 2:14-21

a. Paul’s declaration of his gospel to Peter, Galatians 2:14-21 . The purpose of Paul in this speech is to put an end to this paltering between law-justification and Christ-justification. If we are justified by Christ. why need we law observances? We analyze these verses as follows: 14. If you, Peter, a born Jew, rely on Christ-justification, why make even Gentiles law-keepers? 15, 16. We born Jews certainly have flung ourselves on Christ as our sole justification. 17. But if, while relying... read more

20. Taking refuge from the law with Christ, I am identified, and so crucified, with him. Christ died from sin, and I die to sin. Liveth in me Is the life of my life. Live… in the flesh Has a deeper life, which is Christ. read more
