Gálatas 3:11-29 RVA

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:15-21

Galatians 3:15-Ecclesiastes : . The “ promise” having once been given, no subsequent enactment like the Law can interfere with it. (Similarly Heb. emphasizes the priority in time of Melchizedek to Aaron.) Even in human affairs, a “ scrap of paper” which records an agreement is not torn up without tragic and memorable consequences. (It has been thought that a will is specially referred to, and in the Gr. rather than the Rom. form; perhaps confirming the view that the epistle went to S.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:23-29

Galatians 3:23-Joel : . Inferior, temporary, co-operating— such is the distinctive nature of the Law. It had held Israel prisoner, till Christ should come. Or it resembled the slave who led a child to (Christ’ s) school ( 1 Corinthians 4:15 *). Now that Christ has appeared there is no room for a law-regime. Sonship, faith, a new humanity “ put on” like a garment at baptism ( Galatians 3:27; cf. Romans 13:14, and in a modified application, 1 Corinthians 15:53 f.), these are the privileges... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:11

The apostle, by another argument, proveth that sinners are not justified by works. He grants, they may be justified by their good and blameless living before men, so as that they may have nothing to say against them, but he says they cannot, by such works, be justified in the sight of God. His argument is from the opposition that is between faith and works. He proveth, from Habakkuk 2:4, that we are justified by faith; where the prophet saith, that the just (or righteous man) shall live by... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:12

The law saith nothing of faith in the Mediator; though faith in God be commanded in the first precept, yet faith in Christ is not commanded by the law as that by which the soul shall live. For that which the law saith is: Do this and live: The man that doeth the things contained in the law, shall live in them; life, in the law, is promised to those who do the things which it requireth; not to them who, have failed in their performances, yet accept of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Redeemer which... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:13

If the law curseth all those who continue not in all things contained in the law, (as the apostle had said, Galatians 3:10, and proved from Deuteronomy 27:26), it might be objected: How will believers then escape more than others; for none of them continue in all that is written in the law? The apostle here obviateth this objection, by telling the Galatians, that, as to believers, Christ had redeemed them from this curse. The word generally signifies delivering; here it signifies a deliverance... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:14

The apostle, by the blessing of Abraham, here, understands those spiritual blessings of justification, reconciliation, and adoption, which came to Abraham upon his believing, and the imputation of righteousness thereupon unto him. Christ (he saith) was made a curse for us, that all those blessings through him might come on the Gentiles; and so all the nations of the earth might be blessed in him. Particularly, that the Gentiles might receive the promise of the Spirit; which promise is not to be... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:15

Though it be but a man’s covenant: the word here translated covenant, diayhkh, is ordinarily translated testament; see Matthew 26:28. It signifies in the general, an ordering or disposing of things; more specially, a testament; which is the disposition of the testator’s goods after his death. Now, (saith the apostle), I here argue according to the ordinary methods and doings of men, who have such a respect for a man’s testament, as that, if it be once confirmed, according to the methods of law... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:16

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made; the promises, Genesis 12:3; Genesis 22:18; in the one of which places it is said: In thee; in the other: In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. He saith, promises, either because of the repetition of the same promises, or taking in also other promises. He saith not: And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ: some may object against the apostle’s conclusion, that the promise respected only... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:17

The covenant, that was before confirmed of God in Christ: the word translated covenant, is the same as before; ordinarily signifying one’s disposal of things in his last will and testament. Which name is given to the covenant of grace, with respect to the death of Christ; for though Christ as yet had not died, yet he was, by virtue of the covenant of redemption, and in God’s counsels: The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, Revelation 13:8. This (he saith) was in Christ, ( as Abraham’s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:18

If the inheritance of the heavenly Canaan, typified by the earthly Canaan, the promise of which was made to Abraham, be to be obtained by the fulfilling of the law, and yielding obedience to it, then it is no more of the promise. It is much the same with what the apostle said before, Romans 4:14; and with what he had said, Romans 11:6; If by grace, then it is no more of works, otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace; otherwise work is no more work. He... read more
