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
But he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
Not only by words of encouragement, but by uttering a curse or a prophecy against their teachers, he applies to them an incentive. And observe that he never mentions the name of these plotters, that they might not become more shameless. His meaning is as follows. Not because you will be none otherwise minded, are the authors of your seduction relieved from punishment. They shall be punished; for it is not proper that the good conduct of the one should become an encouragement to the evil disposition of the other. This is said that they might not make a second attempt upon others. And he says not merely, he that troubles, but, whosoever he be, in the way of aggravation.
