Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Galatians 5:3

_ _ ForGreek, “Yea, more”; “Moreover.”

_ _ I testify ... to every man — as well as “unto you” (Galatians 5:2).

_ _ that is circumcised — that submits to be circumcised. Such a one became a “proselyte of righteousness.”

_ _ the whole law — impossible for man to keep even in part, much less wholly (James 2:10); yet none can be justified by the law, unless he keep it wholly (Galatians 3:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 5:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Galatians 5:3

I testify to every man — Every gentile. That is circumcised — He thereby makes himself a debtor — Obliges.
