Galatians 5:7 You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth? The Christian race is by no means easy. We are so let and hindered in running "the race that is set before us," because of — 1. Our sinful nature still remaining in the holiest saints. 2. Some easily-besetting sin (Hebrews 12:1). 3. The entanglements of the world, like heavy and close-fitting garments, impeding the racer's speed. 4. Our weakness and infirmity, soon tired and exhausted, when the race is long or the road is rough. (G. S. Bowes.) Parallel Verses KJV: Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?WEB: You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth? |
