Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 1:7

Which is not another; another doctrine it is, but another doctrine or glad tidings of salvation, or another gospel of Christ, it is not; for there is no other. In and by the new notions they bring they do but trouble you, and pervert the true doctrine of the gospel; though they use the name of Christ, and of his gospel, they do it falsely; for by making the works of the law, and the observance of them, necessary to be by you observed in order to your salvation, they quite destroy and pervert... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 1:8-9

The apostle, by this vehement expression, doth no more suppose it possible that a heavenly angel should publish to them any other way of salvation than what he had published, than that he himself might so contradict his own doctrine. He only by it declares his certainty of the truth, which he had delivered to them; it was not to be contradicted either by man or angel; and further teacheth us, that additions to the doctrines of the gospel make another gospel; God neither allowing us to add to,... 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

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Galatians 1:8-9

DISCOURSE: 2050THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DOCTRINE OF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH ALONEGalatians 1:8-9. Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other Gospel unto you, than that ye have received, let him be accursed.TO exercise candour and forbearance towards those who differ from us, is the duty of all: yet there are bounds beyond which candour becomes... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Galatians 1:1-24

Galatia was not a city. It was a territory. It encompassed an area that is now in Turkey. There were several churches founded by Paul in Galatia. And following Paul's evangelistic efforts through the area and the founding of many churches, there were men who came in and they began to pervert the gospel that Paul had taught, the gospel of grace. And they began to preach another gospel which is not a gospel.Because the word gospel means good news. And if you tell me that God will forgive me all... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 1:1-24

Galatians 1:1 . Paul an apostle, not of men, neither by man. Paul was not a member of the church of the firstborn, suckled with her breasts, and edified by her ministry. Christ had specially appeared to him, and stopped him in the way. He saw the holy and Just One; was made by the grace of God a witness of the resurrection, and legate of God to the Gentiles. Acts 9:4; Acts 22:13; Acts 22:15. Thus his ministry was purely of God, as Christ is of God the Father, who raised him from the dead by... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Galatians 1:6-7

Galatians 1:6-7I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you.The errors of the good and the follies of the wise are painful subjects of contemplation, and we are never more conscious of a sensitive and distressing recoil than when we witness the disappointment of our hopes in reference to those who had once given promise of attaining to distinguished excellence. Some, however, it is to be feared, are comparative strangers to any vivid apprehensions of this kind. They seem to be... read more

Not persons of the greatest interest. “We,” who have this relation to you as Pastors and Teachers; “we,” whom at present you esteem; let neither our relation to you, nor your affection to us, prevail in this particular.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Galatians 1:7

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Ver. 7. There be some ] That would fain have blended Pharisaism and Christianity, Acts 15:5 . That trouble you ] ταρασσοντες . As camels with their feet trouble the waters they should drink of. And would pervert the gospel ] They pretended only to bring in a Jewish rite or two, and yet are said to pervert the gospel, μεταστρεψαι .

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Galatians 1:8

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Ver. 8. Or an angel ] Not an evil angel (as Ambrose understands it), but a good angel, per impossibile, as John 8:55 . Than that which we, &c. ] Or besides that which we have preached. He saith not, contrary to that, but besides that; for indeed that which is directly besides, is indirectly against the gospel. read more
