Galatians 1:22

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

Galatians 3:26

3:26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. ² 

Galatians 4:19

4:19 My children – I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you! ³ 

Galatians 5:4

5:4 You who are trying to be declared righteous ⁴  by the law have been alienated ⁵  from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!

Galatians 6:6

6:6 Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches ⁶  it.

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

[3:26]  ² tn Or “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”

[4:19]  ³ tn Grk “My children, for whom I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you.” The relative clauses in English do not pick up the emotional force of Paul’s language here (note “tone of voice” in v. 20, indicating that he is passionately concerned for them); hence, the translation has been altered slightly to capture the connotative power of Paul’s plea.

[5:4]  ⁴ tn Or “trying to be justified.” The verb δικαιοῦσθε (dikaiousqe) has been translated as a conative present (see ExSyn 534).

[5:4]  ⁵ tn Or “estranged”; BDAG 526 s.v. καταργέω 4 states, “Of those who aspire to righteousness through the law κ. ἀπὸ Χριστοῦ be estranged from Christ Gal 5:4.”

[6:6]  ⁵ tn Or “instructs,” “imparts.”
