Galatians 5:7

_ _ Translate, “Ye were running well” in the Gospel race (1 Corinthians 9:24-26; Philippians 3:13, Philippians 3:14).

_ _ who, etc. — none whom you ought to have listened to [Bengel]: alluding to the Judaizers (compare Galatians 3:1).

_ _ hinder — The Greek means, literally, “hinder by breaking up a road.”

_ _ not obey the truth — not submit yourselves to the true Gospel way of justification.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 5:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
