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).
