Commentary

Commentary on Galatians 3:26

Theological / Devotional

Ye are all. That is, both Jews and Gentiles (see v. 28).

Children of God. Literally, “sons of God,” having been “born again” as members of God’s family in heaven and on earth (see on Matt. 5:9; John 1:12, 13; 3:3, 5; Rom. 8:15, 16; 9:8, 26; Eph. 3:15; John 3:1, 2).

By faith. See on Rom. 1:5, 17; Gal. 3:11. Jew and Gentile alike are to be saved by faith, not by the “works of the law” (see on ch. 2:16).
