Wherever this opinion holds sway the promises of God are denied, Christ is demoted, hypocrisy and idolatry are established. VERSE 9. Whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage. The Apostle pointedly asks the Galatians whether they desire to be in bondage again to the Law. The Law is weak and poor, the sinner is weak and poor--two feeble beggars trying to help each other. They cannot do it. They only wear each other out. But through Christ a weak and poor sinner is revived and enriched unto eternal life.英文原著 · 《Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians》
