  Vine pg. 192
• It is more likely, considering the remoter
  context, see especially 521, that the thought of
  the fault getting beforehand with the caution of
  the believer, finding him off his guard, and so
  taking advantage of him. This interpretation
  provides a vivid contrast with the deliberate and
  premeditated practice of evil

• Galatians Gods Antidote to Legalism Ron
  Merryman pg. 110
• Paul encourage all believers to be
  filled/controlled by the Spirit and to walk in
  the Spirit. But what was normative in Pauls day
  has become ultra-normative in our day that is,
  spiritual Christians today are a minority or
  viewed as a minority. Most Christians relegate
  the responsibility of Gal. 61 to others because
  they simply do not see themselves as spiritual
  they simply feel they do not fit the bill.
  Spiritual ones are limited to pastors, elders,
  deacons, or Sunday school teachers! What a
  perversion.
