Galatians 4:17

4:17 They court you eagerly, ⁶  but for no good purpose; ⁷  they want to exclude you, so that you would seek them eagerly. ⁸ 

[1:12]  ¹ tn Or “I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it.”

[1:12]  ² tn The words “I received it” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[1:12]  ³ tn It is difficult to determine what kind of genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ (Ihsou Cristou) is. If it is a subjective genitive, the meaning is “a revelation from Jesus Christ” but if objective genitive, it is “a revelation about Jesus Christ.” Most likely this is objective since the explanation in vv. 15-16 mentions God revealing the Son to Paul so that he might preach, although the idea of a direct revelation to Paul at some point cannot be ruled out.

[2:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “only that we remember the poor”; the words “They requested” have been supplied from the context to make a complete English sentence.

[3:6]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Gen 15:6.

[4:17]  ¹⁰ tn Or “They are zealous for you.”

[4:17]  ¹¹ tn Or “but not commendably” (BDAG 505 s.v. καλῶς 2).

[4:17]  ¹² tn Or “so that you would be zealous.”
