Gálatas 1:1
So that no one might suppose the Son to be a mere ancillary to the Father, finding the word through in this passage, he immediately adds "but through God the Father, who raised him from the dead." For he has applied the word through to both persons, teaching that this usage does not imply any difference of nature. And the phrase "the one who raised him from the dead" does not hint at any defect in the Son's divinity, for the suffering did not happen to the Godhead but illustrates the concord of the gospel, because it was not the Son alone who bestowed the mystery of the divine incarnation, but the Father himself is a sharer in this dispensation. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.1
Gálatas 1:2
The epistle to the Galatians was written from Rome. The divine apostle had already seen and taught them. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 6.18
Gálatas 1:4
By "the evil age" he does not mean the elements, as the Manichaeans portentously assert, but the present life, that is, this secular human way of living, in which sin has made a home. For, being enveloped in a mortal nature, some of us venture on the greater sins, some on the lesser. But when we make the transition to that immortal life, and are free from our present corruption and have put on incorruption, we shall be made able to conquer sin.… Yet the present age as such is not vile, but vileness is the enterprise of some who live in it. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.3-4
Gálatas 1:6
He is saying, "You have not departed from this teaching to that but from the one who called you.… The very Father who gave the law is the one who called you to this gospel.… And if you desert this gospel, you will not find another. For the Lord does not preach some things through us and others through the other apostles." — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.6-7
Gálatas 1:8
He mentioned the angels, not speculating that any of the holy angels would say something contrary to the divine gospel, for he knew this to be impossible. But through this he reprehended every novelty of humanity. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.8
Gálatas 1:12
It was very shrewd of him to mention revelation, for the Lord Jesus had been taken up and was no longer seen equally of all. But to Paul he had appeared on the road and made him worthy of the ministry of proclamation. And this again he sets against their slanders, showing that in this too he did not fall short of the apostles. For just as the Galatians received the gospel from him, so likewise he had Christ himself as a teacher. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.12
Gálatas 1:19
He was called "the brother of the Lord" but was not so by nature. For he was not, as some suppose, the son of Joseph by a previous marriage but the son of Clopas and cousin of the Lord. For his mother was the sister of the Lord's mother. … He was thought by others to be the Lord's brother, both because their mothers had the same names and because the families shared one house. And he was so called even by believers, both because of the extreme virtue that he possessed (for he was called "the Just") and because of the kinship. For the sacred story of the Gospels tells us that the Blessed Virgin had no other son. For seeing her by the cross, the Lord gave her to the most divine John, but he would not have committed her to another if the blessed James, a man possessed of extreme virtue, had been her son. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.19
