Paul had said before, v. 25. that the believing Jews after the publishing of the Gospel, were no more under the law as under a schoolmaster: In this 26. v. he renders a reason hereof: §25and it may be framed on this manner: If we Jews were still under the law as under a schoolmaster, then we should be still after the manner of servants: but we are not after the manner of servants: because we are children: for even ye Galatians, and that all of you, are children of God, not by Circumcision, §30or by the keeping of the law, but by faith in Christ. Again, that they are children of God, he proves it thus: Ye are baptised into Christ, and in baptism ye have put on Christ, in that ye are joined with him, and have fellowship with him, who is the natural son of God: therefore ye are sons of God. It §35may be said, All children of God? all baptised? all put on Christ? how can this be? seeing some are Jews, some Gentiles; some bond, some free; some men, some women. The answer is made v. 27. there are differences of men indeed, but in Christ, all are as one.
Paul had said before, v. 25. that the beleeuing Iewes after the publishing of the Gospel, were no more vnder the law as vnder a schoolemaster: In this 26. v. he renders a reason hereof: §25and it may be framed on this manner: If we Iewes were still vnder the law as vnder a schoolemaster, then we should be still after the manner of seruants: but we are not after the manner of seruants: because we are children: for euen ye Galatians, and that all of you, are children of God, not by Circumcision, §30or by the keeping of the law, but by faith in Christ. Againe, that they are children of God, he prooues it thus: Ye are baptised into Christ, and in baptisme ye haue put on Christ, in that ye are ioyned with him, and haue fellowship with him, who is the naturall sonne of God: therefore ye are sonnes of God. It §35may be saide, All children of God? all baptised? all put on Christ? how can this be? seeing some are Iewes, some Gentiles; some bond, some free; some men, some women. The answer is made v. 27. there are differences of men indeede, but in Christ, all are as one.
