Galatians 4:4

¹ tn Heb “the dwelling of your house.”

² tn Heb “the place of the abode of your splendor.”

³ tn Or “your will.”

⁴ tn Heb “your law [is] in the midst of my inner parts.” The “inner parts” are viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s thought life and moral decision making.

⁵ tn Grk “but Jesus, answering, said.” This construction with passive participle and finite verb is pleonastic (redundant) and has been simplified in the translation to “replied to him.”

⁶ tn Grk “Permit now.”

⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸ tn Or “permitted him.”

⁹ tn Grk “the fullness of time” (an idiom for the totality of a period of time, with the implication of proper completion; see L&N 67.69).
