Galatians 5:20
_ _ witchcraft — sorcery; prevalent in Asia (Acts 19:19; compare Revelation 21:1-27).
_ _ hatred — Greek, “hatreds.”
_ _ variance — Greek, “strife”; singular in the oldest manuscripts.
_ _ emulations — in the oldest manuscripts, singular — “emulation,” or rather, “jealousy”; for the sake of one’s own advantage. “Envyings” (Galatians 5:21) are even without advantage to the person himself [Bengel].
_ _ wrath — Greek, plural, “passionate outbreaks” [Alford].
_ _ strife — rather as Greek, “factions,” “cabals”; derived from a Greek root, meaning “a worker for hire”: hence, unworthy means for compassing ends, factious practices.
_ _ seditions — “dissensions,” as to secular matters.
_ _ heresies — as to sacred things (see on 1 Corinthians 11:19). Self-constituted parties; from a Greek root, to choose. A schism is a more recent split in a congregation from a difference of opinion. Heresy is a schism become inveterate [Augustine, Con. Crescon. Don., 2, 7]. |
Galatians 5:20
Idolatry, witchcraft — That this means witchcraft, strictly speaking, (not poisoning,) appears from its being joined with the worship of devil — gods, and not with murder. This is frequently and solemnly forbidden in the Old Testament. To deny therefore that there is, or ever was, any such thing, is, by plain consequence, to deny the authority both of the Old and New Testament. Divisions — In domestic or civil matters. Heresies are divisions in religious communities. |

2 Chronicles 33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Acts 8:9-11 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: ... And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
