Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Galatians 3:13

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:Christ — Christ alone. The abruptness of the sentence shows an holy indignation at those who reject so great a blessing.Hath redeemed us — Whether Jews or gentiles, at an high price.From the curse of the law — The curse of God, which the law denounces against all transgressors of it.Being made a curse for us — Taking the curse upon himself, that we might... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:1

PART SECOND. BIBLICAL ESTABLISHMENT OF FAITH-JUSTIFICATION THROUGH CHRIST, Galatians 3:1 to Galatians 4:31. 1. Introductory expostulation against their apostasy from faith to works, Galatians 3:1-4. 1. O foolish Galatians A bold apostrophe; especially bold as being to be read to their congregations. Foolish Defective, either in the possession or the use of the spiritual faculty; unintuitive. Bewitched Fascinated, spellbound. The spell or formula of uttered words, or the power of the... read more

2. This only Earnestly emphatic, as if this one consideration alone were decisive. The Spirit They had, since they embraced Christ, been conscious of the blessed testimony of the Spirit. In it was supreme demonstration. How received ye it? Hearing of faith? The listening of faith to the voice of the gospel. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:4

4. Suffered Appeal to their memory of persecutions suffered by them for Christ. If it can be, alas! yet in vain. The history of their sufferings for the gospel when first preached to them by Paul is not recorded; but the analogy of Luke’s narrative of the persecutions in Lycaonia and elsewhere justifies the belief that these are the subject of St. Paul’s allusion. Calling these sufferings to mind, his heart is touched with sorrow to think that their apostasy from the faith should so... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:5

The Abrahamic faith-covenant is superior to law, which works curse, Galatians 3:5-14. 5. He God. Ministereth Abundantly supplies. Worketh miracles Rather, inworketh within you miraculous powers. Endoweth you with the power of performing miracles. This assumes that the Galatians had performed miracles, but not as Judaizers. Faith In its various uses in the Bible the word faith ranges through the various meanings of belief, trust, fidelity, trustworthiness. And in the Christian... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:6

6. Even as These connective words imply that the last interrogation has the force, as often, of a strong affirmation. Abraham So in Romans, written near the same time, Abraham is adduced as an illustrious exemplar of faith. The notes on Romans iv are essentially a comment upon this passage. But, as Prof. Lightfoot has fully shown, Abraham had long been a standing model of faith in Jewish literature, both among the Greek-Jews of Alexandria, of whom the chief representative was Philo, and... read more

7. Know ye The Greek verb may be either the imperative or the indicative, but the former suits more the imperative style of the whole passage. Be ye well assured that faith makes you truer sons of Abraham than birth or circumcision. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:8

8. Scripture, foreseeing A personification of Scripture, as in Galatians 3:22; a strong proof that Paul views Scripture as God speaking. The Jewish writers used the expressive phrase, What saw the Scripture? Heathen, as well as nations below, the same in Greek as the word Gentile, Galatians 3:14. Preached before the gospel Pre-evangelized, pre-announced the glad news. The gospel of Christ and the gospel of Abraham are one, the latter being earliest preached, and by Jehovah himself.... read more
