Galatians 5:6
_ _ For — confirming the truth that it is “by faith” (Galatians 5:5).
_ _ in Jesus Christ — Greek, “in Christ Jesus.” In union with Christ (the ANOINTED Savior), that is, Jesus of Nazareth.
_ _ nor uncircumcision — This is leveled against those who, being not legalists, or Judaizers, think themselves Christians on this ground alone.
_ _ faith which worketh by love — Greek, “working by love.” This corresponds to “a new creature” (Galatians 6:15), as its definition. Thus in Galatians 5:5, Galatians 5:6, we have the three, “faith,” “hope,” and “love.” The Greek expresses, “Which effectually worketh”; which exhibits its energy by love (so 1 Thessalonians 2:13). Love is not joined with faith in justifying, but is the principle of the works which follow after justification by faith. Let not legalists, upholding circumcision, think that the essence of the law is set at naught by the doctrine of justification by faith only. Nay, “all the law is fulfilled in one word — love,” which is the principle on which “faith worketh” (Galatians 5:14). Let them, therefore, seek this “faith,” which will enable them truly to fulfil the law. Again, let not those who pride themselves on uncircumcision think that, because the law does not justify, they are free to walk after “the flesh” (Galatians 5:13). Let them, then, seek that “love” which is inseparable from true faith (James 2:8, James 2:12-22). Love is utterly opposed to the enmities which prevailed among the Galatians (Galatians 5:15, Galatians 5:20). The Spirit (Galatians 5:5) is a Spirit of “faith” and “love” (compare Romans 14:17; 1 Corinthians 7:19). |
Galatians 5:6
For in Christ Jesus — According to the institution which he hath established, according to the tenor of the Christian covenant. Neither circumcision — With the most punctual observance of the law. Nor uncircumcision — With the most exact heathen morality. Availeth anything — Toward present justification or eternal salvation. But faith — Alone; even that faith which worketh by love — All inward and outward holiness. |
Galatians 5:6
(3) For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor (4) uncircumcision; (5) but (e) faith which worketh by love.
(3) He adds a reason, for now circumcision is abolished, seeing that Christ is exhibited to us with complete spiritual circumcision. (4) He makes mention also of uncircumcision, lest the Gentiles should please themselves in it, as the Jews do in circumcision. (5) The taking away of an objection: if all that worship of the Law is taken away, in what than shall we exercise ourselves? In charity, Paul says: for faith of which we speak cannot be idle; no, it brings forth daily fruits of charity.
(e) So is true faith distinguished from counterfeit faith: for charity is not joined with faith as a fellow cause, to help forward our justification with faith. |

1 John 4:18-21 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. ... And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
