Galatians 5:1
The Fruits of the Flesh and of the Spirit
SUMMARY OF GALATIANS 5: To Fall Under the Law Is to Lose Christ.
Circumcision Avails Nothing. but Faith Working by Love. Love the
Fulfilling of the Law. The Warfare Between the Flesh and the Spirit.
The Works of the Flesh. The Fruits of the Spirit.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us
free. Compare Ephesians 6:14 2Th 2:15. This verse is connected in
meaning with the last chapter, where it is shown that the gospel is
freedom, but the Mosaic law is the covenant of bondage. Hence Paul bids
them to cling to their freedom in Christ, and
And be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Not to be
brought again under the yoke by being drawn under the Jewish law. Once
they had been under bondage to a heathen yoke (Galatians 4:8); to accept
the Jewish yoke would be a second bondage.
