Gálatas 5:3
There are some who serve the law to a certain extent without being circumcised; for many Romans in Judea served the law without circumcision.… Yet there is no one who is circumcised without being required to serve the whole law. He is a debtor, since the law was given to the circumcised. His meaning here was that they had become so negligent as to deserve to bear all the burdens of the law. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.3
Gálatas 5:8
The truth is that the Jews imposed the yoke of the law on them by a human decision, not by the judgment of God, who was calling them to grace through his apostle. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.8
Gálatas 5:10
He says that he has this ground for trusting in them, that they had entered on the path of error not of their own accord, but they had been taken unawares. Thus he trusts that when they are shown the true road they will easily be able to return.
Gálatas 5:12
[The point is] that those who had deprived the Galatians of the grace of God should themselves be cut off from the grace of God. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.12
Gálatas 5:19
These and others like them are the members of sin, which the apostle calls "the works of the flesh" because these errors come from the world, from which also the flesh comes. For all these sins arise from the side of the flesh, not from that of the Spirit. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.21
Gálatas 5:23
Paul did not mention more than ten excellent behaviors because he is referring to the fruits of the Spirit. These fruits embrace everything in the tablets of God's covenant, in which no more than ten words of command are succinctly handed down. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.24.2
Gálatas 5:26
What he is saying is that if we live well and honestly we should also express this in good conduct. This is what it is to live in the Spirit: to have an unblemished life. We walk in the Spirit if we study peace. For this is what engenders love. It is, on the other hand, empty glory to seek a victory where there is no prize, so that someone would end up having only a zeal for strife and spiritual competition. These things tend toward discord and wrangling. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.26
