Galatians 4:17-19 ESV

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Galatians 4:19-23

An urgent appeal to an Old Testament example: v. 19. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. v. 20. I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. v. 21. Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law, do ye not hear the Law? v. 22. For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. v. 23. But he who was of the bond-woman was born after the flesh; but he of... read more

C. Rebuke, passing over into Sorrowful ComplaintGalatians 4:8-181. Interrupting the doctrinal exposition, Paul rebukes the incomprehensible backsliding into which they are falling.(Galatians 4:8-11)8Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service [were in bondage]10 unto them which by nature are no [not] gods.11 9But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known [have been known]12 of God, how turn ye again [how is it that ye are turning again]13 to the weak and beggarly elements... read more

The Epistle for the 4th Sunday in Lent.)19My little children22 of whom I travail in birth again [with whom I am again in 20travail] until Christ be formed in you, I desire [I could wish indeed] to be present with you now, and to change my voice... read more

Truthful and Devoted Dealing Galatians 4:12-20 How great a loss is it when we allow ourselves to be diverted from the simplicity of faith to trust in ceremonies, rites, and a prescribed routine! Inevitably these bring us into bondage. Let us therefore not pay slavish attention to the outward, but seek to have Christ within, and from within He will become the energy and passion of a new life. Each time we yield to the prompting of His Spirit, there is less of self and more of Him. In... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Galatians 4:1-31

He now declared the process of freedom. "God sent forth His Son . . . under the law." Thus the law He kept was justified, and He lived thereby. But more than this, He bore its penalty, and so procured justification and life for those who, while under its tutelage, had broken it. The result of this is that they are sons, and now cry "Abba, Father." Under the old bondage Cod was not known. But now they have come to know God. The return of these Galatian Christians to this ignorance is indicated... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Galatians 4:1-22

Turning unto Law-Works Galatians 4:1-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. It is passing strange that, after we have come to know salvation by grace, we could turn back to the beggarly elements of salvation by law-works. This many are doing today. History truly repeats itself. The Spirit of God certainly told us of the Galatians to warn us against stumbling at the same stumbling block. The Galatians knew how the Lord Jesus Christ gave Himself for them, that He might deliver them from this present evil... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 4:19

FAITH AND CHARACTER‘Until Christ be formed in you.’ Galatians 4:19 Why not Christianity without Christ? Ah, we are here face to face with a notable distinction. Of no other system, religious or moral, or both combined, can it be said that the Founder was the Faith. Christ preached no system. If you try and get a system out of the Gospels you will have a hopeless task before you. To systematise is to destroy. You cannot systematise a person. You cannot formulate an informing Christ. Do we get... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 4:17-18

‘They seek you zealously, but not in a good way. No, they desire to shut you out that you may look to them. But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you.’ The Judaisers have indeed come with great zeal seeking to press their teachings. Perhaps they had made a great show of fasting and observance of the Sabbath, and had prayed openly on street corners. But their aim was not good. They have suggested that because they are Jews they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 4:19

‘My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pains until Christ be formed in you.’ Paul is now almost in anguish, and he presses home his plea tenderly and with passion. They are again putting him through the deep spiritual concern that he had already once suffered on their behalf. ‘My little children’ (teknia mou), or possibly ‘my children’ (tekna mou). The words are tender. Compare the use of a similar phrase by John (1 John 2:1 and often). ‘For whom I am again suffering birth... read more
