• He will allow nothing in addition to that which he had preached. They did not formally deny Christ; they wished to add circumcision. But the gospel which the Apostle had preached was the complete and whole gospel. Nothing could be added to it without altering it, without saying that it was not the perfect gospel. (“Galatians 1-2” by J.N. Darby)
• First, they were giving up the divine authority of the word of God and asserting human authority; secondly, they were giving up the pure gospel as the way of salvation, and falling back on law and human tradition. (“Galatians 1” by H. Smith)
