Galatians 3:25 belongs to the larger question about the law in Galatians, which gives plain light on that subject. Many took a position on that question without fully understanding it beforehand. Its teaching was resisted because accepting its light might require accepting a position the readers did not want to receive. It was turned from for fear of having to accept it, though that plain light is to be accepted and not turned from. Taking a wrong position on it without cherishing the Spirit of Christ contributed to a loss for the church.
