A Pastoral Strategy
Commentators note Paul's strategic shift in tone. After strong rebukes, he expresses confidence in the Galatian believers. This was a pastoral method to encourage them back to the truth by distinguishing between the deceived (the congregation) and the deceivers ('he that troubleth you'). He places the primary blame on the outside agitators to win back the hearts of the flock.
