A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Galatians 3:17
The Greek word for covenant is Diatheke; meaning testament, or will. From Diatithemai; to properly make a disposition, I,e (especially) a contract (especially a devisory will) For the word covenant is used to denote the close relationship which God entered into, first with Noah, Genesis 6:18, Genesis 9:9 then with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their posterity, Leviticus 26:42, but especially with Abraham, Genesis 15 and Genesis 17 and afterward through Moses with the people of Israel. We can be sure that God will fulfill all of His promises. All the promises of God are yes, and we say Amen to the glory of God. When we make a testament or will it is the last disposal which one makes of one's earthly possessions after his death (So in Greek writing form Aristophanes, Plato as follows. Hebrews 9:16: For where a testament is, there must also be the testator's death. Jesus Christ's death on the cross. fulfilled the Mosaic law and it cannot be disannulled, that the promise would be of no effect. Praise God that we can rest assured that we are joint heirs with Christ by faith and will receive all the promises of God when Jesus returns to take us to heaven in the resurrection.
#Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to the seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:16
The Greek word for promises is Epangelia; meaning a summons. From Epanggello; an announcement, assent, or pledge, especially a divine assurance of good. 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. The apostle John wants us to have this assurance, that God is light and there is no darkness at all. Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie, that we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. As God has promised we are of the seed of Abraham by faith, and joint heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ. So we can rest assured that God will complete what He started. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
#Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it is a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Galatians 3:15
The Greek word for disannulleth is Atheteo, meaning to do away with what has been laid down or set aside. It comes from a compound of a (as a negative particle) and a derivative of Tithemi; to set aside, i.e. (by implication) to disesteem, neutralize or violate, frustrate, bring to naught, reject. Mark 7:9 And He said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition. Jesus is telling the Pharisees just as Paul was advising the Judieazers that they reject the commandment of God to keep their traditions. This is hypocrisy and does not keep with the grace of God. We must obey God and not men. Let God be true and all men liars. We must be careful not to get caught up in keeping the traditions of men. Jesus taught us that God is light, and there is no darkness in Him. We must walk as children of the light. For the Judieazers are children of the devil and the works of their father they shall do. For he the devil, was a murderer and the father of lies. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
#That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:14
The Greek word for promise is Epangelia, meaning a summons. It comes from Epaggello, an announcement (for information, consent, or pledge; especially a divine assurance of good) message.2 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus. Paul is telling Timothy and the Galatians of the divine assurance we have of receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit by faith in Jesus Christ so that the Gentiles can enjoy the blessings of Abraham
#Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hanged on a tree. Galatians 3:13
The Greek word for redeemed is Exagorazo: meaning to buy up and to rescue from loss. From Ek and Agorazo I.e to Ransom. Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. The Lord Jesus Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by hanging on a tree called Mount Calvary. Now let us walk in wisdom toward those who do not believe, redeeming the time for the days are evil.
#And the law is not of faith, but The man that doeth them shall live in them. Galatians 3:12
The Greek word for law is Nomos; which means that which is assigned. Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Paul tells the Galations there is no boasting in the law, for we are saved by grace, through faith, and not of works lest any man should boast. Do not think that righteousness came by the law, or else Christ would have died in vain. We live and walk by faith, but the faith that we live by produces good works, for we are His workmanship, created unto good works which God has ordained that we walk in them. Let no man think more highly of himself, for Christ in us produces those good works by faith.
#But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, the just shall live by faith. Galatians 3:11
The Greek word for evident is Delos; meaning clear. Of uncertain derivation; clear, bewray, certain, or manifest.1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out. Paul is telling the Galatians and Timothy it is certain we walk by faith and not by sight, for we are saved by faith and not keeping the law. The Law was our schoolmaster until the Lord Jesus came. Now Christ is the completion of the law, and we are saved by faith in His work on the cross. Let us win souls to the Lord Jesus Christ for those are the fruits of our labor that we take to heaven with us. Not our money or our possessions. So it is clear The just shall live by faith. My prayers for the antibiotics for my bone infection in my right foot is appreciated. The Lord healed the woman with the issue of blood because she had enough faith to touch Him in the crowd. Pass me not O gentle Savior, hear my every cry, as the great hymn of the Church goes.
#For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Galatians 3:10
The Greek word for Cursed is Epikataratos; meaning accursed from Epi and a derivative of Kataraomai; imprecated, i.e. Execrable. Deuteronomy 21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. Jesus became a curse for us, by dying on the cross, and He was taken down and buried, and on the third day, He rose again for our justification. Therefore, we are no longer under the Mosiac law, but under grace. Whosoever keeps the law but offends in one area is accursed. The blood of Jesus has justified us, the Holy Spirit is sanctifying us and will be glorified at the appearance of Jesus known as the Epiphany.
#So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Galatians 3:9
The Greek word for blessed is eulogeo; it means to speak well of, or praise from a compound of Eu and Logos; to speak well of, i.e. (religiously) to bless (thank or invoke a benediction upon, or prosper) Hebrews 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received of Abraham and blessed him that had the promises. Paul is praising those Galatians who are of faith and well-spoken as the faithful Abraham. God promised to bless those who bless Israel and to curse those who curse Israel. 1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief. Paul knew what it was to be blessed because he was a blasphemer, but he did it out of ignorance and received mercy as he was the chief sinner. Therefore let us come boldly before His throne of grace so that we can receive mercy and grace to help in a time of need.
#And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. Galatians 3:8
The Greek word for gospel is Proeuangelizomai; meaning to announce good news beforehand. The middle voice from Pro and Euaggelizo; to announce glad news in advance. Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people. This is the same preaching that Paul is telling the Galations that God foreseeing would justify the heathen through faith, and preached this good news unto Abraham so that all nations of the world could be blessed. We are all children of Abraham through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and joint heirs with Christ to the Abrahamic covenant.
