Galatians 4:20 Howard Vos “It is hard to know exactly how their situation is when you must go on hearsay, and it is usually much more difficult to deal with a problem in writing than in person. If he were present he could change his tone of voice, either to suit the needs of the situation or change from condemnation to praise. ‘For I stand in doubt of you’ indicates distress of mind…in knowing how to deal with the Galatians, whether firmly or gently, to bring them back to the standards of faith and grace.”

Legitimate Allegory? Howard Vos “Paul does not deny the literal meaning of the Abrahamic narrative, but he says that the circumstances of the history have another besides the literal meaning. Whether ‘illustration,’ ‘parable,’ or ‘allegory’ should be used to describe the apostle’s interpretation may be debated. Certainly Paul’s use of this Old Testament account does not give the contemporary Bible student license to allegorize a variety of Scripture passages. It should be kept in mind that what Paul says here is by the same inspiration as the original Genesis account.”
