I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will not be otherwise minded: but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
All Commentaries on Galatians 5:10 Go To Galatians 5
John Chrysostom
AD 407
He does not say, you are not minded, but, you will not be minded; that is, you will be set right. And how does he know this? He says not I know, but I trust in God, and invoking His aid in order to your correction, I am in hopes; and he says, not merely, I have confidence in the Lord, but, I have confidence towards you in the Lord. Every where he connects complaint with his praises; here it is as if he had said, I know my disciples, I know your readiness to be set right. I have good hopes, partly because of the Lord who suffers nothing, however trivial, to perish, partly because of you who are quickly to recover yourselves. At the same time he exhorts them to use diligence on their own parts, it not being possible to obtain aid from God, if our own efforts are not contributed.
