ACC ~ Galatians 5 v26
NO ENVY. AMBROSIASTER: What he is saying is that if we live well and honestly we should also express this in good conduct. This is what it is to live in the Spirit: to have an unblemished life. We walk in the Spirit if we study peace. For this is what engenders love. It is, on the other hand, empty glory to seek a victory where there is no prize, so that someone would end up having only a zeal for strife and spiritual competition. These things tend toward discord and wrangling. EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.26.
NO PROVOKING. THEODORET: Some who were grounded in faith were showing a constant disdain of their oppressors. They were thereby provoking them to strife. Paul exhorts them to offer their hands to those who have inclined toward the law. EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 5.26.
