Gálatas 5:8

It is for God to call and hearers to obey. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.8

Gálatas 5:13

He now shifts to ethical exhortation and commends the practice of virtue. "For it was not in order to sin without fear," he says, "that we have been freed from the law." From this it is clear that in rejecting the superfluous parts of the ceremonial law he is commending the observance of the moral law and, above all, love. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.13

Gálatas 5:15

Here Paul hints that, while some had been circumcised under duress, others had relied on their faith and stood firm. Nevertheless, they were at odds, some praising the legalistic way of life, others showing due admiration for the gifts of grace. For this reason Paul focuses his attention on the exhortation to love. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.15

Gálatas 5:20

Now it is clear that idolatry and sorcery and things of that kind belong not to the flesh but to the soul. In fact it is not the flesh that he is condemning but the wayward mind. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.19-21

Gálatas 5:26

Some who were grounded in faith were showing a constant disdain of their oppressors. They were thereby provoking them to strife. Paul exhorts them to offer their hands to those who have inclined toward the law. — EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.26
