Galatians 6:16

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace [be] upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." — Galatians 6:16 (ASV)

And as many as walk. As many as live, for the word walk is used in this way in the Scriptures.

According to this rule. Greek: canon. See the explanation of the word in Barnes on 2 Corinthians 10:13.

Peace be on them. See Barnes on Romans 15:33.

And upon the Israel of God. The true church of God; all who are his true worshippers. See Barnes on Romans 2:28; Romans 2:29; Romans 9:6.
