Galatians 6:17

“From henceforth let no man trouble me, etc..] Having so clearly stated and explained the doctrine of justification, and so largely proved that it is not by works, but by faith, and that circumcision and other rituals of the ceremonial law were not necessary to it, he desires, nay, in an authoritative way he requires, that they give him no further trouble on that head; signifying, that he expected they would be satisfied with what he had wrote, and abide by the truth and obey it, as they had formerly done; that he should hear no more objections from them, or complaints of them: nor need they further inquire his sense of these things; by this they would fully know his faith and practice; as…”

“let no man trouble me--by opposing my apostolic authority, seeing that it is stamped by a sure seal, namely, "I (in contrast to the Judaizing teachers who gloried in the flesh) bear (as a high mark of honor from the King of kings)." the marks--properly, marks branded on slaves to indicate their owners. So Paul's scars of wounds received for Christ's sake, indicate to whom he belongs, and in whose free and glorious service he is (Co2 11:23-25). The Judaizing teachers gloried in the circumcision mark in the flesh of their followers: Paul glories in the marks of suffering for Christ on his own body (compare Gal 6:14; Phi 3:10; Col 1:24). the Lord--omitted in the oldest manuscripts.”

“From henceforth - For the remaining time; that is, during the remainder of my life. Let no man trouble me - This implies that he had had trouble of some kind, and he earnestly desires that he may have no more. What particular trouble he here refers to, is not certainly known, and commentators have not been agreed. It seems to me that the connection requires us to understand it of the molestation which he had in regard to his call to the apostolic office, and his authority to explain and defend the religion of the Redeemer. This had been one principal subject of this Epistle. His authority had been called in question. He had felt it necessary to go into a vindication of it. His instructions…”

“From henceforth let none trouble me - By quarrels and disputes. For I bear - And afflictions should not be added to the afflicted. In my body the marks of the Lord Jesus - The scars, marks, and brands of my sufferings for Him. Next: Ephesians Chapter 1”

“6:17 don’t let anyone trouble me with these things: No one has a right to criticize Paul or his message because of his proven status as Christ’s servant. • Paul’s scars (Greek stigmata) probably resulted from the severe persecution he had endured as a servant of Christ (see Acts 14:19; 2 Cor 6:4-10; 11:21-33). In contrast with the physical mark of circumcision that the false teachers in Galatia wanted to impose on Gentile Christians, Paul’s scars of suffering were proof that he was Christ’s servant (cp. Exod 21:6).”

“let: Gal 1:7, Gal 5:12; Jos 7:25; Act 15:24; Heb 12:15 I bear: Gal 5:11; Co2 1:5, Co2 4:10, Co2 11:23-25; Col 1:24 Galatians 6:18”
