What Does Galatians 5:10 Mean?
After the sharp warnings, Paul's tone softens into hope. I have confidence in you — yet not a confidence resting on them, but through the Lord. He trusts that the same God who called them will keep them, and that they will come to be none otherwise minded, settled again in the truth.
But there is a stern word for the one stirring up trouble. He that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be — no rank or reputation will shield him. Paul distinguishes the misled flock, whom he expects to recover, from the one leading them astray, who stands accountable before God. Mercy for the wandering; sober warning for the teacher who unsettles them.
