This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Gal_5:25-26
25If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
Gal_5:25 "If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit" This is a first class conditional sentence, assumed to be true from the author's perspective or for his literary purposes. It summarizes the entire section (cf. Gal_5:16; Rom_8:1-11). Since believers have been given free grace, they ought to live appropriately (cf. Eph_4:1; Eph_4:17; Eph_5:2; Eph_5:15-21).
Gal_5:26 This is parallel to Gal_5:15 and shows the terrible consequences of the false teachings of the Judaizers among the churches of Galatia and the absence of the Spirit's control in the disruptive attitudes within the congregations.
