Galatians 4:2

_ _ tutors and governors — rather, “guardians (of the person) and stewards (of the property).” Answering to “the law was our schoolmaster” or “tutor” (Galatians 3:24).

_ _ until the time appointed of the father — in His eternal purposes (Ephesians 1:9-11). The Greek is a legal term, expressing a time defined by law, or testamentary disposition.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 4:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Galatians 4:2

But is under tutors — As to his person. And stewards — As to his substance.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Galatians 4:2

But is under tutors and governors (a) until the time appointed of the father.

(a) This is added because he that is always under a tutor or governor may hardly be considered a freeman.
