Verš 1
O senseless Galatians, who has so fascinated you that you would not obey the truth, even though Jesus Christ has been presented before your eyes, crucified among you?
Gal 5:7 - You have run well. So what has impeded you, that you would not obey the truth?
Verš 6
It is just as it was written: “Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.”
Gn 15:6 - Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
Rim 4:3 - For what does Scripture say? “Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.”
Jak 2:23 - And so the Scripture was fulfilled which says: “Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.” And so he was called the friend of God.
Verš 8
Thus Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold to Abraham: “All nations shall be blessed in you.”
Gn 12:3 - I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Gn 18:18 - since he will become a great and very robust nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?
Gn 22:18 - And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”

Verš 10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things that have been written in the book of the Law, so as to do them.”
Dt 27:26 - Cursed be he who does not remain in the words of this law, and does not carry them out in deed. And all the people shall say: Amen.”
Verš 11
And, since in the law no one is justified with God, this is manifest: “For the just man lives by faith.”
Rim 3:20 - For in his presence no flesh shall be justified by the works of the law. For knowledge of sin is through the law.
Gal 2:16 - And we know that man is not justified by the works of the law, but only by the faith of Jesus Christ. And so we believe in Christ Jesus, in order that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law. For no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
Hab 2:4 - Behold, he who is unbelieving, his soul will not be right within himself; but he who is just shall live in his faith.
Rim 1:17 - For the justice of God is revealed within it, by faith unto faith, just as it was written: “For the just one lives by faith.”
Heb 10:38 - For my just man lives by faith. But if he were to draw himself back, he would not please my soul.”
Verš 12
But the law is not of faith; instead, “he who does these things shall live by them.”
Lv 18:5 - Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.
Ez 20:11 - And I gave them my precepts, and I revealed to them my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them.
Rim 10:5 - And Moses wrote, about the justice that is of the law, that the man who will have done justice shall live by justice.
Verš 13
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, since he became a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is anyone who hangs from a tree.”
Rim 8:3 - For though this was impossible under the law, because it was weakened by the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and because of sin, in order to condemn sin in the flesh,
2Kor 5:21 - For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.
Dt 21:23 - his corpse shall not remain on the tree. Instead, he shall be buried on the same day. For he who hangs from a tree has been cursed by God, and you shall not defile your land, which the Lord your God will give to you as a possession.”
Verš 15
Brothers (I speak according to man), if a man’s testament has been confirmed, no one would reject it or add to it.
Heb 9:17 - For a testament is confirmed by death. Otherwise, it as yet has no force, as long as the one who testifies lives.
Verš 16
The promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. He did not say, “and to descendents,” as if to many, but instead, as if to one, he said, “and to your offspring,” who is Christ.
Gal 3:8 - Thus Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold to Abraham: “All nations shall be blessed in you.”
Verš 17
But I say this: the testament confirmed by God, which, after four hundred and thirty years became the Law, does not nullify, so as to make the promise empty.
Gn 15:13 - And it was said to him: “Know beforehand that your future offspring will be sojourners in a land not their own, and they will subjugate them in servitude and afflict them for four hundred years.
Ex 12:40 - Now the habitation of the sons of Israel, while they remained in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Sk 7:6 - Then God told him that his offspring would be a settler in a foreign land, and that they would subjugate them, and treat them badly, for four hundred years.
Verš 18
For if the inheritance is of the law, then it is no longer of the promise. But God bestowed it to Abraham through the promise.
Rim 4:14 - For if those who are of the law are the heirs, then faith becomes empty and the Promise is abolished.
Verš 19
Why, then, was there a law? It was established because of transgressions, until the offspring would arrive, to whom he made the promise, ordained by Angels through the hand of a mediator.
Jn 15:22 - If I had not come and had not spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
Rim 4:15 - For the law works unto wrath. And where there is no law, there is no law-breaking.
Rim 5:20 - Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant.
Rim 7:8 - But sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
Sk 7:38 - This is he who was in the Church in the wilderness, with the Angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. It is he who received the words of life to give to us.
Sk 7:53 - You received the law by the actions of Angels, and yet you have not kept it.”
Dt 5:5 - I was the mediator, for I was in the middle between the Lord and you, at that time, to announce his words to you. For you were afraid of the fire, and so you did not ascend to the mountain. And he said:
Jn 1:17 - For the law was given though Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Sk 7:38 - This is he who was in the Church in the wilderness, with the Angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. It is he who received the words of life to give to us.
Verš 22
But Scripture has enclosed everything under sin, so that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Rim 3:9 - What is next? Should we try to excel ahead of them? By no means! For we have accused all Jews and Greeks to be under sin,
Rim 11:32 - For God has enclosed everyone in unbelief, so that he may have mercy on everyone.
Verš 24
And so the law was our guardian in Christ, in order that we might be justified by faith.
Mt 5:17 - Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfill. 566
Sk 13:38 - Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses.
Rim 10:4 - For the end of the law, Christ, is unto justice for all who believe.
Verš 26
For you are all sons of God, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Jn 1:12 - Yet whoever did accept him, those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the sons of God.
Rim 8:15 - And you have not received, again, a spirit of servitude in fear, but you have received the Spirit of the adoption of sons, in whom we cry out: “Abba, Father!”
Gal 4:5 - so that he might redeem those who were under the law, in order that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Verš 27
For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have become clothed with Christ.
Rim 6:3 - Do you not know that those of us who have been baptized in Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death?
Verš 28
There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither servant nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Jn 17:21 - So may they all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you, so also may they be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
Verš 29
And if you are Christ’s, then are you the offspring of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
Gn 21:12 - And God said to him: “Let it not seem harsh to you concerning the boy and your woman servant. In all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.
Rim 9:7 - And not all sons are the offspring of Abraham: “For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.”
Heb 11:18 - To him, it was said, “Through Isaac, shall your offspring be summoned,”
Gal 3,1 - Evanjelium je Kristus ukrižovaný (1 Kor 2,2) a zmŕtvychvstalý; preto ohlasovanie evanjelia sa podstatne sústreďuje na Kristovo veľkonočné tajomstvo (porov. 1 Kor 11, 23 n; 15, 3 n).
Gal 3,3-5 - Pravdepodobne tu myslí na obriezku. Galaťania tým, že počúvali falošných učiteľov a prijali záväznosť Mojžišovho zákona aj pre kresťanov, ukázali, že nič nepochopili zo svedectva Ducha, ktorý sa prejavuje v kresťanoch (porov. Sk 10, 44–45; 1 Sol 1, 5). Dary Ducha máme iba skrze vieru v Krista.
Gal 3,6 - Gn 15, 6. Pavol nevyhnutnosť viery pre spásu dokazuje zo zjavenia.
Gal 3,8 - Gn 12, 3.
Gal 3,10 - Dt 27, 26. Zákon oprávňoval iba trest. Toho, kto ho poruší, dáva pod kliatbu. Ak sa totiž človek spolieha iba na svoje vlastné sily, nedokáže dokonale zachovať zákon. Zákon preto nemôže byť zdrojom milosti, ospravedlnenia.
Gal 3,11 - Hab 2, 4.
Gal 3,12 - Lv 18, 5.
Gal 3,13 - Dt 21, 23. Kristus vzal na seba kliatbu zákona za tých, ktorí zákon porušili. Svojou smrťou zadosťučinil zákonu. Preto tí, čo sú s Kristom spojení, už nepodliehajú zákonu.
Gal 3,15-18 - Keď už potvrdený ľudský závet je nezmeniteľný, tým skôr je nezmeniteľné Božie prisľúbenie. Božie prisľúbenie nemohol zrušiť ani Mojžišov zákon. Preto Božie požehnanie nepochádza zo zákona, ale z prisľúbenia.
Gal 3,19-22 - V dejinách spásy mal zákon iba podradnú úlohu. Vzhľadom na ľudskú slabosť skôr zapríčiňoval rozmnoženie hriechu. Tým viac ukazoval potrebu vykúpenia. Okrem toho Boh dal zákon skrze prostredníka (Mojžiša), kým vykúpenie skrze prisľúbeného Vykupiteľa, Ježiša Krista.
Gal 3,23-29 - Zákon mal svoj význam v tom, že udržiaval Židov vo viere v jedného Boha, v jeho prisľúbenia a v túžbe po Mesiášovi. Keď sa všetky prisľúbenia splnili v Kristovi, zákon stratil zmysel.
Gal 3,27 - Obliecť si Krista, znamená stať sa ako on, premeniť sa v neho (porov. 2, 20), teda konkrétne: prijať synovstvo (4, 5), byť s Kristom jeden (3, 28), byť Kristovým (3, 29), byť na základe synovstva Božím dedičom (4, 6–7) a napokon to znamená, že Kristus je v nás (4, 19).
