SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:7

Así que conocis que los que son por la fe, los tales son los hijos de Abraham.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 7. Know ye therefore , etc..] Or ye know; this is a thing known by you, at least may, or should be; it ought not to be
contradicted or disputed, it is so plain a case, and so clear a point: that they which are of faith ; of the faith of Abraham, as in ( Romans 4:16) have the same faith as he had, for nature and kind; though it may not be to the same degree, yet exercised on the same object, Jehovah the Word, the Lord our righteousness, and wrought by the same Spirit; or who are of the faith of Christ, believers in him with all their hearts, and for themselves; who look to him for righteousness and life, who seek for justification by his righteousness, and trust in him alone for it, and not in the works of the law: the same are the children of Abraham ; his spiritual seed, though they may not be his natural offspring; for he is the father of all that believe, whether of the circumcision or the uncircumcision, and of none else in a spiritual sense: in this the apostle strikes at the false teachers, who boasted of their being the seed of Abraham, his natural descendants, which they might be, and yet not his spiritual children; for none are such, but they that are of faith, or seek for righteousness by faith; not they that are of the law, or seek for justification by the works of it, and so not heirs of the blessing; were they, faith would be made void, and the promise of none effect, ( Romans 5:14) and his view herein is to prove, that the Gentiles, who believe, are the true seed of Abraham, the children of the promise, those in many nations, he was promised to be the father of; and his further view is to observe, that as the father of the faithful was justified, so are all his children; and that as he was justified by faith, so are they.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-14 - The
apostle proves the doctrine he had blamed the Galatians for rejecting; namely, that of justification by faith without the works of the law. This he does from the example of Abraham, whose faith fastene upon the word and promise of God, and upon his believing he was owne and accepted of God as a righteous man. The Scripture is said to foresee, because the Holy Spirit that indited the Scripture di foresee. Through faith in the promise of God he was blessed; and it is only in the same way that others obtain this privilege. Let us the study the object, nature, and effects of Abraham's faith; for who can in any other way escape the curse of the holy law? The curse is agains all sinners, therefore against all men; for all have sinned, and ar become guilty before God: and if, as transgressors of the law, we ar under its curse, it must be vain to look for justification by it. Thos only are just or righteous who are freed from death and wrath, an restored into a state of life in the favour of God; and it is onl through faith that persons become righteous. Thus we see tha justification by faith is no new doctrine, but was taught in the churc of God, long before the times of the gospel. It is, in truth, the onl way wherein any sinners ever were, or can be justified. Thoug deliverance is not to be expected from the law, there is a way open to escape the curse, and regain the favour of God, namely, through fait in Christ. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law; being mad sin, or a sin-offering, for us, he was made a curse for us; no separated from God, but laid for a time under the Divine punishment The heavy sufferings of the Son of God, more loudly warn sinners to flee from the wrath to come, than all the curses of the law; for ho can God spare any man who remains under sin, seeing that he spared no his own Son, when our sins were charged upon him? Yet at the same time Christ, as from the cross, freely invites sinners to take refuge in him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

7. Know ye (ginwskete). Imperative. It may also be rendered as indicative, ye know, but the imperative is livelier, and the statement in the verse is one of the points which the writer is trying to
prove.

They which are of faith (oi ek pistewv). Ek pistewv from or out of faith, is found with the verb to justify (Rom. iii. 26, 30; v. 1): with other verbs, as live (Rom. i. 17); eat (Rom. xiv. 23): with the noun dikaiosunh righteousness (Rom. i. 17; ix. 30; x. 6): with other nouns, as promise (Gal. iii. 22), law (Gal. iii. 12). For parallels to the phrase oiJ ejk pistewv, see Rom. iii. 26; iv. 16; xiv. 23; Gal. iii. 9. It denotes believers as sprung from, or receiving their spiritual condition from that which specially characterizes them. Comp. oiJ ejx ejriqiav they who are of faction, Rom. ii. 8; oiJ ejk nomou they who are of the law, Rom. iv. 14; oJ ejk thv ajlhqeiav he who is of the truth, John xviii. 37.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

3:7 {The same are sons of Abraham} (houtoi huioi eisin Abraham). "These are." this is Paul's astounding doctrine to Jews that the real sons of Abraham are those who believe as he did, "they which be of faith" (hoi ek pistews), a common idiom with Paul for this idea (verse #9; Ro 3:26; 4:16; 14:23), those whose spiritual sonship springs out of (ek) faith, not out of blood. John the Baptist denounced the Pharisees and Sadducees as vipers though descendants of Abraham (#Mt 3:7; Lu 3:7) and Jesus termed the Pharisees children of the devil and not spiritual children of Abraham (not children of God) in #Joh 8:37-44.
