Verse 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 . Ea quae post tergum sunt, in faciem convertere, as Jerome hath it, to turn that before that should be behind; to speak distorted things, διεστραμμενα , such as produce convulsions of conscience, Acts 20:30 . A little thing untowardly mingled mars all. The monstrous heresy of Nestorius lay but in one letter, θεοδοχος , and of Arius, but in one syllable, ομοιουσιος .
