Galatia 3:14

3:14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, ¹  so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

Galatia 3:28

3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave ²  nor free, there is neither male nor female ³  – for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

Galatia 4:18

4:18 However, it is good ⁴  to be sought eagerly ⁵  for a good purpose ⁶  at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

Galatia 4:20

4:20 I wish I could be with you now and change my tone of voice, ⁷  because I am perplexed about you.

Galatia 6:16

6:16 And all who will behave ⁸  in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God. ⁹ 

[3:14]  ¹ tn Or “so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus.”

[3:28]  ² tn See the note on the word “slave” in 1:10.

[3:28]  ³ tn Grk “male and female.”

[4:18]  ⁴ tn Or “commendable.”

[4:18]  ⁵ tn Or “to be zealous.”

[4:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “But it is always good to be zealous in good.”

[4:20]  ⁷ tn Grk “voice” or “tone.” The contemporary English expression “tone of voice” is a good approximation to the meaning here.

[6:16]  ⁸ tn The same Greek verb, στοιχέω (stoicew), occurs in Gal 5:25.

[6:16]  ⁹ tn The word “and” (καί) can be interpreted in two ways: (1) It could be rendered as “also” which would indicate that two distinct groups are in view, namely “all who will behave in accordance with this rule” and “the Israel of God.” Or (2) it could be rendered “even,” which would indicate that “all who behave in accordance with this rule” are “the Israel of God.” In other words, in this latter view, “even” = “that is.”
