Context of Galatians 1:5

3I pray that God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will continue to help you. I pray that they will give you peace in your minds. 4Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice because of all the wrong things that we have done. He did that to save us from all the bad things of this world in which we live now. This is what God, our Father, wanted him to do. God is great and we should praise him for ever. Amen. This is true. 6I am very surprised that you are turning away so soon from God. He is the one who chose you to come to him. He did that because Christ is very kind to you. But now you want to accept a different message which some people call good news. 7But really, there is no other message from God which is good news. Some people are confusing you. They are trying to change the good news about Christ and make it something different.

Commentaries on Galatians 1:5

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5To whom be glory for ever - Let him have the glory to whom alone it is due, for having delivered us from the present evil world, and from all bondage to Mosaic rites and ceremonies.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5To whom be glory … - Let Him have all the praise and honor of the plan and its execution. It is not uncommon for Paul to introduce an ascription of praise in the midst of an argument: see the note at Romans 1:25. It results from the strong desire which he had, that all the glory should be given to God, and showed that he believed that all blessings had their origin in God, and that God should be always acknowledged.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5We should thank God alone for salvation because it is his work alone.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. be glory--rather, as Greek, "be the glory"; the glory which is peculiarly and exclusively His. Compare Note, see on Ep 3:21.Read the comment
