Greek, "I (emphatical: 'I on my part') have confidence in the Lord with regard to you (Th2 3:4), that ye will be none otherwise minded" (than what by this Epistle I desire you to be, Phi 3:15).
but he that troubleth you-- (Gal 1:7; Act 15:24; Jos 7:25; Kg1 18:17-18). Some one, probably, was prominent among the seducers, though the denunciation applies to them all (Gal 1:7; Gal 4:17).
shall bear--as a heavy burden.
his--his due and inevitable judgment from God. Paul distinguishes the case of the seduced, who were misled through thoughtlessness, and who, now that they are set right by him, he confidently hopes, in God's goodness, will return to the right way, from that of the seducer who is doomed to judgment.
whosoever he be--whether great (Gal 1:8) or small. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I have confidence in you ... - Though they had been led astray, and had embraced many false opinions, yet, on the whole, Paul had confidence in their piety, and believed they would yet return and embrace the truth.
That ye will be none otherwise minded - That is, than you have been taught by me; or than I think and teach on the subject. Paul doubtless means to say, that he had full confidence that they would embrace the views which he was inculcating on the subject of justification, and he makes this remark in order to modify the severity of his tone of reprehension, and to show that, notwithstanding all he had said, he had confidence still in their piety. He believed that they would coincide with him in his opinion, alike on the general subject of justification, and in regard to the cause of their alienation from the truth. He, therefore, gently insinuates that it was not to be traced to themselves that they had departed from the truth, but to the "little leaven" that had leavened the mass; and he adds, that whoever had done this, should be held to be responsible for it.
But he that troubleth you - By leading you into error.
Shall bear his judgment - Shall be responsible for it, and will receive proper treatment from you. He gently states this general principle, which is so obvious; states that he does not believe that the defection is to be traced to themselves; and designs to prepare their minds for a proposition which he intends to submit Gal 5:12, that the offending person or persons should be disowned and cut off.
Whosoever he be - "I do not know who he is. I mention no names; accuse no one by name; and advise no severe measures against any particular individual. I state only the obvious principle that every man should bear his own burden, and be held responsible for what he has done - no matter who he is." |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
In the Lord
Const. with I have confidence.
Will be - minded (φρονήσετε)
The word denotes a general disposition of the mind rather than a specific act of thought directed at a given point. Comp. Phi 3:15, Phi 3:19; Phi 4:2; Rom 8:5; Rom 11:20; Co1 13:11 : and φρόνημα mind, Rom 8:6, Rom 8:7, Rom 8:27. In Class. often with εὖ well, καλῶς honorably, ὀρθῶς rightly, κακῶς mischievously. Τά τινος φρονεῖν is to be of one's party.
He that troubleth (ὁ αράσσων)
Comp. Gal 1:7. Not with reference to any particular individual, as Peter or James (Lipsius), but generally, of any possible person, "whoever he may be." The verb is used by Paul only in this Epistle, and refers to disturbance of faith or unity. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Yet I have confidence that - After ye have read this. Ye will be no otherwise minded - Than I am, and ye were. But he that troubleth you - It seems to have been one person chiefly who endeavoured to seduce them. Shall bear his judgment - A heavy burden, already hanging over his head. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
I have confidence in you - I now feel a persuasion from the Lord that I shall not be permitted to expostulate with you in vain; that ye will be none otherwise minded - that ye will be aware of the danger to which ye are exposed, that ye will retreat in time, and recover the grace which ye have lost.
But he that troubleth you - The false teacher, who sowed doubtful disputations among you, and thus has troubled the repose of the whole Church, shall bear his judgment - shall meet with the punishment he deserves, for having sown his tares among God's wheat. |
8 But [235] though [2532] [1437] we [2249], or [2228] an angel [32] from [1537] heaven [3772], preach any other gospel [2097] unto you [5213] than [3844] that which [3739] we have preached [2097] unto you [5213], let him be [2077] accursed [331].
17 They zealously affect [2206] you [5209], but not [3756] well [2573]; yea [235], they would [2309] exclude [1576] you [5209], that [2443] ye might affect [2206] them [846].
7 Which [3739] is [2076] not [3756] another [243]; but there be [1526] some [5100] that [1508] trouble [5015] you [5209], and [2532] would [2309] pervert [3344] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547].
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab [0256] saw [07200] Elijah [0452], that Ahab [0256] said [0559] unto him, Art thou he that troubleth [05916] Israel [03478]?
18 And he answered [0559], I have not troubled [05916] Israel [03478]; but thou, and thy father's [01] house [01004], in that ye have forsaken [05800] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068], and thou hast followed [03212] [0310] Baalim [01168].
25 And Joshua [03091] said [0559], Why [04100] hast thou troubled [05916] us? the LORD [03068] shall trouble [05916] thee this day [03117]. And all Israel [03478] stoned [07275] him with stones [068], and burned [08313] them with fire [0784], after they had stoned [05619] them with stones [068].
24 Forasmuch as [1894] we have heard [191], that [3754] certain [5100] which went out [1831] from [1537] us [2257] have troubled [5015] you [5209] with words [3056], subverting [384] your [5216] souls [5590], saying [3004], Ye must be circumcised [4059], and [2532] keep [5083] the law [3551]: to whom [3739] we gave [1291] no [3756] such commandment [1291]:
7 Which [3739] is [2076] not [3756] another [243]; but there be [1526] some [5100] that [1508] trouble [5015] you [5209], and [2532] would [2309] pervert [3344] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547].
15 Let [5426] us therefore [3767], as many as [3745] be perfect [5046], be [5426] thus [5124] minded [5426]: and [2532] if in any thing [1536] ye be [5426] otherwise [2088] minded [5426], God [2316] shall reveal [601] even [2532] this [5124] unto you [5213].
4 And [1161] we have confidence [3982] in [1722] the Lord [2962] touching [1909] you [5209], that [3754] ye both [2532] do [4160] and [2532] will do [4160] the things which [3739] we command [3853] you [5213].
12 I would [3785] they were [609] even [2532] cut off [609] which trouble [387] you [5209].
7 Which [3739] is [2076] not [3756] another [243]; but there be [1526] some [5100] that [1508] trouble [5015] you [5209], and [2532] would [2309] pervert [3344] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547].
27 And [1161] he that searcheth [2045] the hearts [2588] knoweth [1492] what [5101] is the mind [5427] of the Spirit [4151], because [3754] he maketh intercession [1793] for [5228] the saints [40] according [2596] to the will of God [2316].
7 Because [1360] the carnal [4561] mind [5427] is enmity [2189] against [1519] God [2316]: for [1063] it is [5293] not [3756] subject [5293] to the law [3551] of God [2316], neither [3761] indeed [1063] can be [1410].
6 For [1063] to be [5427] carnally [4561] minded [5427] is death [2288]; but [1161] to be [5427] spiritually [4151] minded [5427] is life [2222] and [2532] peace [1515].
11 When [3753] I was [2252] a child [3516], I spake [2980] as [5613] a child [3516], I understood [5426] as [5613] a child [3516], I thought [3049] as [5613] a child [3516]: but [1161] when [3753] I became [1096] a man [435], I put away [2673] childish things [3516].
20 Well [2573]; because of unbelief [570] they were broken off [1575], and [1161] thou [4771] standest [2476] by faith [4102]. Be [5309] not [3361] highminded [5309], but [235] fear [5399]:
5 For [1063] they that are [5607] after [2596] the flesh [4561] do mind [5426] the things [3588] of the flesh [4561]; but [1161] they that are after [2596] the Spirit [4151] the things [3588] of the Spirit [4151].
2 I beseech [3870] Euodias [2136], and [2532] beseech [3870] Syntyche [4941], that they be of [5426] the same [846] mind [5426] in [1722] the Lord [2962].
19 Whose [3739] end [5056] is destruction [684], whose [3739] God [2316] is their belly [2836], and [2532] whose glory [1391] is in [1722] their [846] shame [152], who [3588] mind [5426] earthly things [1919].)
15 Let [5426] us therefore [3767], as many as [3745] be perfect [5046], be [5426] thus [5124] minded [5426]: and [2532] if in any thing [1536] ye be [5426] otherwise [2088] minded [5426], God [2316] shall reveal [601] even [2532] this [5124] unto you [5213].
