Galatians 5:11 Paul and Circumcision The Bible Knowledge Commentary Commentary on Acts Stanley Toussaint “Because of Timothy’s good reputation (Acts 16:2), Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, probably as a helper as Mark had been. There was a problem, however. The Jews to whom Paul would be preaching the gospel would be offended if a man with a Jewish mother was uncircumcised. So Timothy was circumcised.”

Galatians 5:11 Galatians: God’s Antidote to Legalism Ron Merryman pg 90 “It was really the preaching of the cross that provoked the ire and wrath of unbelieving men, Jew and Gentile alike….The offense of the cross is the humiliating fact that man can add absolutely nothing to the efficacy or value of Christ’s death and the grace of God it manifests. Legalists always seek to add to the cross; in this case, they added circumcision. But the cross properly understood always puts the legalists out of business. They in turn either receive the message of the cross or else trip over it: so with the Jews and so will all legalizers since. The offense of the cross continues and will continue until all rebellion against God and His brace is put down.”

Galatians 5:12 Galatians: A Call to Christian Liberty Howard Vos pg 97 “Trouble is a very forceful word here. It speaks of turning them upside down, of upsetting the peace and order in the Galatian churches, and may even involve riotous or seditious conduct (Ac 17:6; 21:38). In the latter sense the Judaizing error is viewed as capable of overthrowing the whole divine system of salvation.”

Galatians 5:12 “The Epistle to the Galatians,” The Wycliffe Bible Commentary Everett Harrison pg 1295 “As an emasculated man has lost the power of propagation, so should these agitators be reduced to impotence in spreading their false doctrine.
