Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
All Commentaries on Galatians 5:1 Go To Galatians 5
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
Be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. You once served idols and devils: why do you now wish to serve the shadows and burdensome ceremonies of the Mosaic law? The Greek for entangled is rendered by the Vulgate contained, by Vatablus implicated, by Erasmus ensnared. The Judaisers, says S. Paul, are enticing you to their law as into a net, in which, if you are once entangled, you will be unable to escape from its legal windings and toils.
