Contextual Overview

¹ Stand therefore in that liberty with which the Meshiha hath freed you, and be not enthralled with the yoke of bondage. ² Behold, I, Paulos, tell you, that if you be circumcised, the Meshiha profiteth you nothing. ³ But I attest again to every man who is circumcised, that he is obligated to fulfil the whole law. ⁴ You have ceased from the Meshiha who are justified by the law, and from grace you have fallen. ⁵ But we through the Spirit, who is from faith, expect the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For, in the Meshiha Jeshu, circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which is made perfect by love. ⁷ Well did you run; who hath impeded you, that to the truth you should not be in obedience? ⁸ Your persuasion is not from him who called you. ⁹ A little leaven the whole mass leaveneth. ¹⁰ I am confident of you in our Lord, that no other thing you will think; and he who disturbeth you shall bear judgment, whoever he is.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. That is, the opinion they were persuaded to believe; and which the Syriac version renders, פיסכון, "your persuasion"; this is not of God, who had called them into the grace of Christ; nor of Christ, who had called them to the knowledge of himself, and communion with him; nor of the Spirit of Christ, who had called them with an holy calling, and who still continued to call them to repentance; nor of any faithful minister of the Gospel, who had been concerned as an instrument in their effectual calling; meaning the notion they were persuaded to give into, that circumcision and the works of the law were necessary to salvation, and that these were to be joined with the righteousness of Christ for justification; such a conceit as this could never be of God, nor any evangelical minister, but must be of Satan or his emissaries, the false apostles.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This persuasion - This belief that it is necessary to obey the laws of Moses, and to intermingle the observance of Jewish rites with the belief of the Christian doctrines in order to be saved.

Not of him that calleth you - That is, of God, who had called them into his kingdom. That it refers to God and not to Paul is plain. They knew well enough that Paul had not persuaded them to it, and it was important now to show them that it could not be traced to God, though they who taught it pretended to be commissioned by him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 8. This persuasion — Of the necessity of your being circumcised and obeying the law of Moses, is not of him that calleth you. I never preached such a doctrine to you; I called you out of bondage to liberty, from a galling yoke to a cheerful service. Some translate πεισμονη, obedience or subjection. This subjection of yours to the Mosaic law is opposed to the will of God, and never was preached by me.
