Galatians 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Some two or three hundred interpretations go upon the misconception that the meaning is: "A mediator is a mediator, not of one party, but of two parties, and God is one of those two parties." This is, I strongly think, quite erroneous. The structure of the Greek excludes it. The word "one" clearly points not to number, but to quality; and so the sense will be: "A mediator has nothing to do with what is one, whatsoever be the number of individuals constituting that unit, but God is pre-eminently ONE — one with Himself, as in essence, so in will... one in His one method of dealing with all." (Canon T. S. Evans, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. |
