Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Galatians 2:5

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

5. Greek, "To whom not even for an hour did we yield by subjection." ALFORD renders the Greek article, " with THE subjection required of us." The sense rather is, We would willingly have yielded for love [BENGEL] (if no principle was at issue), but not in the way of subjection, where "the truth of the Gospel" ( Galatians 2:14 ; Colossians 1:5 ) was at stake (namely, the fundamental truth of justification by faith only, without the works of the law, contrasted with another Gospel, Colossians 1:5- : ). Truth precise, unaccommodating, abandons nothing that belongs to itself, admits nothing that is inconsistent with it [BENGEL]. might continue with you —Gentiles. We defended for your sakes your true faith and liberties, which you are now renouncing. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
