| Commentaries and Concordances |
| GSB: | 4:2 But is under tutors and governors {a} until the time appointed of the father.
(a) This is added because he that is always under a tutor or governor may hardly be considered a freeman. |
| PNT: | 4:2 Under tutors and governors. The tutors had charge of his person; the governors were stewards who managed his estate. These had control
until the time appointed of his father in his will, that he should be free and have full charge. |
| WES: | 4:2 But is under tutors - As to his person. And stewards - As to his substance. |
| MHC: | 4:1-7 The apostle deals plainly with those who urged the law of Moses together with the gospel of Christ, and endeavoured to bring believers under its bondage. They could not fully understand the meaning of the law as given by Moses. And as that was a dispensation of darkness, so of bondage; they were tied to many burdensome rites and observances, by which they were taught and kept subject like a child under tutors and governors. We learn the happier state of Christians under the gospel dispensation. From these verses see the wonders of Divine love and mercy; particularly of God the Father, in sending his Son into the world to redeem and save us; of the Son of God, in submitting so low, and suffering so much for us; and of the Holy Spirit, in condescending to dwell in the hearts of believers, for such gracious purposes. Also, the advantages Christians enjoy under the gospel. Although by nature children of wrath and disobedience, they become by grace children of love, and partake of the nature of the children of God; for he will have all his children resemble him. Among men the eldest son is heir; but all God's children shall have the inheritance of eldest sons. May the temper and conduct of sons ever show our adoption; and may the Holy Spirit witness with our spirits that we are children and heirs of God. |
