Galatians 5:10
10 I [ego] have confidence [peitho] in [eis] you [humas] through [en] the Lord [kurios], that [hoti] ye will be [phroneo] none [oudeis] otherwise [allos] minded [phroneo]: but [de] he that troubleth [tarasso]
you [humas] shall bear [bastazo] his judgment [krima],
whosoever [hostis] he be [an] [o]. KJV-Interlinear
10 I have confidence in you in
the Lord, that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you
shall bear his judgment, whoever he is. NASB
Confidence, ‘pietho,’ means to convince by truthful
argument by means of evidence or authority that is in agreement with that
authority, thus promoting assurance and belief.
Such confidence comes from faith by means of doctrine, which is the only
source that leads to confidence.
Through the Lord, who is Christ. But Christ is the written word also, and that
is how we gain Christ in us, by means of learning doctrine.
And that learning process transforms the mind, such
that if you stick with a consistent and objective daily study, then you will have
no other false systems of belief interfering with your Christian faith.
But what you have faith in, comes from what you
believe. And what you believe comes from
what you know. And what you know comes
from what you learn.
Therefore, if your learning is restricted to the world,
then your faith is limited by what is in the world.
However, if your learning includes bible doctrine
learned in the correct way, namely while in fellowship, then your views of life
and reality will be molded by truth and your discernment between truth and lies
will be better and correctly oriented to the realities of life.
When false concepts come along you will be able to
distinguish them for what they are, as all false concepts attack the
fundamental principles of truth.
It is far better to know truth and to promote
truth, because the promotion of lies and false concepts will gain only
judgment. Likewise, the perpetuation of
false principles in life, whether passively or actively, will gain you only
judgment.
