1:11 Now ⁴  I want you to know, brothers and sisters, ⁵  that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. ⁶ 

Galatia 1:18

1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem ⁷  to visit Cephas ⁸  and get information from him, ⁹  and I stayed with him fifteen days.

[1:7]  ¹ tn Grk “which is not another,” but this could be misunderstood to mean “which is not really different.” In fact, as Paul goes on to make clear, there is no other gospel than the one he preaches.

[1:7]  ² tn Grk “except.”

[1:7]  ³ tn Or “trying.”

[1:11]  ⁴ tc ‡ The conjunction δέ (de) is found in Ì⁴⁶ א*^,2 A D¹ Ψ 1739 1881 Ï sy bo, while γάρ (gar) is the conjunction of choice in א¹ B D*^,c F G 33 pc lat sa. There are thus good representatives on each side. Scribes generally tended to prefer γάρ in such instances, most likely because it was more forceful and explicit. γάρ is thus seen as a motivated reading. For this reason, δέ is preferred.

[1:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).

[1:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “is not according to man.”

[1:18]  ⁸ sn Cephas. This individual is generally identified with the Apostle Peter (L&N 93.211).

[1:18]  ⁹ tn Although often translated “to get acquainted with Cephas,” this could give the impression of merely a social call. L&N 34.52 has “to visit, with the purpose of obtaining information” for the meaning of ἱστορέω (Jistorew), particularly in this verse.

[2:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “slaves, nor did we…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, οὐδέ (oude) was translated as “But…even” and a new sentence started in the translation at the beginning of v. 5.

[2:5]  ¹¹ tn Or “we did not cave in to their demands.”

[2:5]  ¹² tn Grk “even for an hour” (an idiom for a very short period of time).

[2:5]  ¹³ sn In order that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. Paul evidently viewed the demands of the so-called “false brothers” as a departure from the truth contained in the gospel he preached. This was a very serious charge (see Gal 1:8).

[2:11]  ¹⁴ sn Cephas. This individual is generally identified with the Apostle Peter (L&N 93.211).

[2:11]  ¹⁵ map For location see JP1 F2; JP2 F2; JP3 F2; JP4 F2.

[2:11]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “because he stood condemned.”

[4:28]  ¹⁷ tc Most mss (א A C D² Ψ 062 Ï lat sy bo) read “we” here, while “you” is found in Ì⁴⁶ B D* F G 0261^vid 0278 33 1739 al sa. It is more likely that a copyist, noticing the first person pronouns in vv. 26 and 31, changed a second person pronoun here to first person for consistency.

[4:28]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.
