“Galatians 5 – Freedom of the Believer ~ Part-3”


Listen Later

Paul starts, “You were running well; who held you back that you do not obey the truth?” (FROM: Green’s Literal Translation: Galatians 5:7)


Commentary tells us, “The Christian life is often represented as a race. Paul means here that they began the Christian life with ardor and zeal. Who did hinder you. Margin, drive you back. The word used here means, properly, to beat, or drive back. Hence it means to hinder, check, or retard. Dr. Doddridge remarks that this is “an Olympic expression, and properly signifies coming across the course while a person is running in it, in such a manner as to jostle, and throw him out of the way.” (FROM: Barnes’ New Testament Notes)
