Calvin's on Galatians 3:9

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

9. Faithful Abraham . This expression is very emphatic. They are blessed , not with Abraham as circumcised, nor as entitled to boast of the works of the law, nor as a Hebrew, nor as relying on his own excellence, but with Abraham, who by faith alone obtained the blessing; for no personal quality is here taken into the account, but faith alone. The word Blessing is variously employed in Scripture: but here it signifies Adoption into the inheritance of eternal life. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
