Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ.
Read commentary →Galatians 3:17
Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

Read commentary →Galatians 3:29
If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.
Read commentary →Galatians 4:1
But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;
Read commentary →Galatians 4:3
So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
Read commentary →Galatians 4:6
And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!"

So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God.
Read commentary →Galatians 4:8
However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.

Where was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

Read commentary →Galatians 4:18
But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
Read commentary →Galatians 4:19
My children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you-
Read commentary →Galatians 4:21
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?
Read commentary →Galatians 4:23
However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
Read commentary →Galatians 4:24
These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
Read commentary →Galatians 4:25
For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
Read commentary →Galatians 4:27
For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who do not bear. Break forth and shout, you that do not travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband."

But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

Read commentary →Galatians 5:4
You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
Read commentary →Galatians 5:5
For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
Read commentary →Galatians 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
Read commentary →Galatians 5:7
You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
Read commentary →Galatians 5:10
I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
Read commentary →Galatians 5:11
But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
Read commentary →Galatians 6:1
Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted.
Read commentary →Galatians 6:3
For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Read commentary →Galatians 6:4
But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.
Read commentary →Galatians 6:6

Read commentary →Galatians 1:4
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father-

Read commentary →Galatians 1:17

Read commentary →Galatians 2:16
yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
Read commentary →Galatians 3:2

Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."
