Gálatas 1:6-24 NVI

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 1:21

After that I came from Jerusalem, I came into the country of Syria; probably not to Damascus, the chief city of Syria, (where he had so narrow an escape in a basket), but into the country parts of Syria; for Syria lay in the way between Judea and Cilicia. It appeareth by Acts 9:30, that Paul was designed for Tarsus, his native place; where we are also told, that the brethren conducted him to Caesarea, which stood upon the confines of Syria. It is probable that he stayed some time at Tarsus; for... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 1:22

To be in Christ, signifieth: 1. Their being Christians indeed; they having received Christ by a true and lively faith, and given themselves to the obedience of his precepts. In this sense the apostle saith: If any man be in Christ he is a new creature. 2. Their being Christians in name, by baptism and outward profession. These churches are said to be in Christ in this latter sense. We have a parallel text, 1 Thessalonians 2:14. They do not judge improperly, who think that by Judea here is not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 1:23

Though those churches in the country of Judea had never seen Paul’s person, yet they had heard of him: 1. That he had been a persecutor of those which professed the doctrine of the gospel, which he here calleth the faith, it being the object and the means of faith. 2. That there was such a change wrought in him, as that he was now become a preacher of that doctrine, for the profession of which he had formerly wasted and destroyed, the churches of Christ. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 1:6-9

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 1:6. I marvel that ye are so soon removed.—So quickly removed; not so soon after your conversion, or soon after I left you, but so soon after the temptation came; so readily and with such little persuasion (cf. Galatians 1:7-9). It is the fickleness of the Galatians the apostle deplores. An early backsliding, such as the contrary view assumes, would not have been matter of so great wonder as if it had taken place later.Galatians 1:8-9. Any other... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 1:10-12

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 1:11. Not after man.—Not according to man; not influenced by mere human considerations, as it would be if it were of human origin.Galatians 1:12. But by the revelation of Jesus Christ.—Probably this took place during the three years, in part of which the apostle sojourned in Arabia (Galatians 1:17-18), in the vicinity of the scene of the giving of the law: a fit place for such a revelation of the gospel of grace which supersedes the ceremonial law. Though... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 1:13-14

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 1:14. Exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.—St. Paul seems to have belonged to the extreme party of the Pharisees (Acts 22:3; Acts 23:7; Acts 26:5; Philippians 3:5-6), whose pride it was to call themselves “zealots of the law, zealots of God.” A portion of these extreme partisans, forming into a separate sect under Judas of Galilee, took the name of zealots par excellence, and distinguished themselves by their furious opposition to the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 1:15-19

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 1:16. To reveal His Son in me that I might preach Him.—The revealing of His Son by me to the Gentiles was impossible, unless He had first revealed His Son in me; at first on my conversion, but especially at the subsequent revelation from Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:12), whereby I learnt the gospel’s independence of the Mosaic law.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Galatians 1:15-19The Imperative Claims of a Divine Commission—I.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 1:20-24

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 1:24. They glorified God in me.—He does not say, adds Chrysostom, they marvelled at me, they praised me, they were struck with admiration of me, but he attributes all to grace. They glorified God in me. How different, he implies to the Galatians, their spirit from yours.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Galatians 1:20-24God glorified in His Servant—I. By the undoubted truthfulness of his statements.—“Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 1:15-16

Galatians 1:15-16 Delay the Silence of Conscience. I. There are grounds, in the very nature of the case, for questioning whether in religion second thoughts are best. It shall hardly ever happen that the man who does not at once act on the impulse to prayer, but takes time for deliberation, will set himself solemnly to the duty of prayer. It is not that the duty will not bear being deliberated; it is only that second thoughts are worse than the first, as being thoughts that have been tampered... read more
