Galatians 1:22

1:22 But I was personally ¹  unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

Galatians 1:2

1:2 and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia.

Galatians 5:24

5:24 Now those who belong to Christ ²  have crucified the flesh ³  with its passions ⁴  and desires.

[1:22]  ¹ tn Or “by sight”; Grk “by face.”

[5:24]  ² tc ‡ Some mss (א A B C P Ψ 0122¹ 0278 33 1175 1739 pc co) read “Christ Jesus” here, while many significant ones (Ì⁴⁶ D F G 0122*^,2 latt sy), as well as the Byzantine text, lack “Jesus.” The Byzantine text is especially not prone to omit the name “Jesus”; that it does so here argues for the authenticity of the shorter reading (for similar instances of probably authentic Byzantine shorter readings, see Matt 24:36 and Phil 1:14; cf. also W.-H. J. Wu, “A Systematic Analysis of the Shorter Readings in the Byzantine Text of the Synoptic Gospels” [Ph.D. diss., Dallas Theological Seminary, 2002]). On the strength of the alignment of Ì⁴⁶ with the Western and Byzantine texttypes, the shorter reading is preferred. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[5:24]  ³ tn See the note on the word “flesh” in Gal 5:13.

[5:24]  ⁴ tn The Greek term παθήμασιν (paqhmasin, translated “passions”) refers to strong physical desires, especially of a sexual nature (L&N 25.30).
