Galatians 1:9

1:9 As we have said before, and now I say again, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be condemned to hell! ¹ 

Galatians 1:23

1:23 They were only hearing, “The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the good news ²  of the faith he once tried to destroy.”

Galatians 3:2

3:2 The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law ³  or by believing what you heard? ⁴ 

Galatians 5:10

5:10 I am confident ⁵  in the Lord that you will accept no other view. ⁶  But the one who is confusing ⁷  you will pay the penalty, ⁸  whoever he may be.

¹ tn See the note on this phrase in the previous verse.

² tn The Greek verb here is εὐαγγελίζεται (euangelizetai).

³ tn Grk “by [the] works of [the] law,” a reference to observing the Mosaic law.

⁴ tn Grk “by [the] hearing of faith.”

⁴ tn The verb translated “I am confident” (πέποιθα, pepoiqa) comes from the same root in Greek as the words translated “obey” (πείθεσθαι, peiqesqai) in v. 7 and “persuasion” (πεισμονή, peismonh) in v. 8.

⁵ tn Grk “that you will think nothing otherwise.”

⁶ tn Or “is stirring you up”; Grk “is troubling you.” In context Paul is referring to the confusion and turmoil caused by those who insist that Gentile converts to Christianity must observe the Mosaic law.

⁷ tn Or “will suffer condemnation” (L&N 90.80); Grk “will bear his judgment.” The translation “must pay the penalty” is given as an explanatory gloss on the phrase by BDAG 171 s.v. βαστάζω 2.b.β.
