Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 5:19-23.


Galatians 5:23

_ _ temperance — The Greek root implies self-restraint as to one’s desires and lusts.

_ _ against such — not persons, but things, as in Galatians 5:21.

_ _ no law — confirming Galatians 5:18, “Not under the law” (1 Timothy 1:9, 1 Timothy 1:10). The law itself commands love (Galatians 5:14); so far is it from being “against such.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 5:13-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Galatians 5:23

Meekness — Holding all the affections and passions in even balance.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Galatians 5:23

Meekness, temperance: (17) against such there is no law.

(17) Lest that any man should object that Paul plays the deceiver, as one who urging the Spirit urges nothing but that which the Law commands, he shows that he requires not that literal and outward obedience, but spiritual, which proceeds not from the Law but from the Spirit of Christ, who gives us new birth, and must and ought to be the ruler and guider of our life.
