This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gal 5:24. Οἱ δὲ τοῦ ΧÏιστοῦ, Moreover they who are Christ’s) He resumes the proposition laid down at Gal 5:18.-τὴν σάÏκα, the flesh) of which Gal 5:19-20.-á¼ÏƒÏ„αÏÏωσαν, have crucified) They do so with Christ, Rom 6:6, by having received baptism and faith. They have it crucified at present [they have the flesh now in a state of crucifixion]. Supply, and the Spirit is strong within them. This is included in Gal 5:24 from Gal 5:22.-παθήμασι, with the passions) The lusts spring from the passions, and are nourished by them. The affections and appetites both deserve the same punishment as the flesh. [The passions are those that are violent, boisterous, and outrageous. The lusts, on the contrary, calmly seek after what is calculated to minister food to the senses.-V. g.]
