Galatians 6:12 As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised… I. THEIR DOGMATIC ATTITUDE. II. THEIR URGENT ZEAL. III. THE TRUE MOTIVE OF THEIR CONDUCT. 1. Their conduct was cowardly. 2. Hypocritical. 3. Self-interested. IV. IT WAS JUST AND NECESSARY THAT THE APOSTLE SHOULD EXPOSE A POLICY SO MEAN, SO MERCENARY, SO INSINCERE. (Prof. Crosskery.) Parallel Verses KJV: As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. |
