certify--I made known to you as to the Gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man, that is, not of, by, or from man (Gal 1:1, Gal 1:12). It is not according to man; not influenced by mere human considerations, as it would be, if it were of human origin.
brethren--He not till now calls them so. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
But I certify you - I make known to you; or, I declare to you; see Co1 15:1. Doubtless this had been known to them before, but he now assures them of it, and goes into an extended illustration to show them that he had not received his authority from man to preach the gospel To state and prove this is the main design of this chapter.
Is not after man - The Greek text: "Not according to man"; see Gal 1:1. That is, he was not appointed by man, nor did he have any human instructor to make known to him what the gospel was. He had neither received it from man, nor had it been debased or adulterated by any human admixtures. He had received it directly from the Lord Jesus. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
I certify (γνωρίζω)
Or, I make known. Certify, even in older English, is to assure or attest, which is too strong for γνωρίζειν to make known or declare. This, which in the New Testament is the universal meaning of γνωρίζειν, and the prevailing sense in lxx, is extremely rare in Class., where the usual sense is to become acquainted with. For the formula see on Th1 4:13.
After man (κατὰ ἄνθρωπον)
According to any human standard. The phrase only in Paul. See Rom 3:5; Co1 3:3; Co1 9:8; Co1 15:32. Κατὰ ἀνθρώπους according to men, Pe1 4:6. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| But I certify you, brethren - He does not till now give them even this appellation. That the gospel which was preached by me among you is not according to man - Not from man, not by man, not suited to the taste of man. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| But I certify you, brethren, etc. - I wish you fully to comprehend that the Gospel which I preached to you is not after man; there is not a spark of human invention in it, nor the slightest touch of human cunning. |
12 For [1063] I [1473] neither [3761] received [3880] it [846] of [3844] man [444], neither [3777] was I taught [1321] it, but [235] by [1223] the revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652], (not [3756] of [575] men [444], neither [3761] by [1223] man [444], but [235] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] God [2316] the Father [3962], who [3588] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498];)
1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652], (not [3756] of [575] men [444], neither [3761] by [1223] man [444], but [235] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] God [2316] the Father [3962], who [3588] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498];)
1 Moreover [1161], brethren [80], I declare [1107] unto you [5213] the gospel [2098] which [3739] I preached [2097] unto you [5213], which [3739] also [2532] ye have received [3880], and [2532] wherein [1722] [3739] ye stand [2476];
6 For [1063] for [1519] this cause [5124] was the gospel preached [2097] also [2532] to them that are dead [3498], that [2443] they might be judged [2919] [3303] according to [2596] men [444] in the flesh [4561], but [1161] live [2198] according to [2596] God [2316] in the spirit [4151].
32 If [1487] after the manner [2596] of men [444] I have fought with beasts [2341] at [1722] Ephesus [2181], what [5101] advantageth it [3786] me [3427], if [1487] the dead [3498] rise [1453] not [3756]? let us eat [5315] and [2532] drink [4095]; for [1063] to morrow [839] we die [599].
8 Say I [2980] these things [5023] as [3361] [2596] a man [444]? or [2228] saith [3004] not [3780] the law [3551] the same [5023] also [2532]?
3 For [1063] ye are [2075] yet [2089] carnal [4559]: for [1063] whereas [3699] there is among [1722] you [5213] envying [2205], and [2532] strife [2054], and [2532] divisions [1370], are ye [2075] not [3780] carnal [4559], and [2532] walk [4043] as [2596] men [444]?
5 But [1161] if [1487] our [2257] unrighteousness [93] commend [4921] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316], what [5101] shall we say [2046]? [3361] Is God [2316] unrighteous [94] who taketh [2018] vengeance [3709]? (I speak [3004] as [2596] a man [444])
13 But [1161] I would [2309] not [3756] have [2309] you [5209] to be ignorant [50], brethren [80], concerning [4012] them which are asleep [2837], that [3363] ye sorrow [3076] not [3363], even [2532] as [2531] others [3062] which [3588] have [2192] no [3361] hope [1680].
