Gal 3:27 – “put on Christ” Howard Vos “Here is a reference to a highly significant ceremony that meant much to every young Roman man. When he came of age he was invested with the toga virilis, which signified that he was now a grownup son enjoying full citizenship with the rights and responsibilities pertaining thereto. He was no longer treated like a child in his father’s household. The figure helps to explain how one becomes an adult son in the divine family (v. 26).”

Gal 3:28 James Boice “It is hard to imagine how badly women were treated in antiquity, even in Judaism, and how difficult it is to find any statement about the equality of the sexes, however weak, in any ancient texts except those of Christianity. The Jew prayed, ‘I thank God that thou has not made me a woman’ (common morning prayer). Josephus wrote, ‘Woman is inferior to man in every way.’ (Contra Apion, 2:24). The Gentile world had similar expressions.”
