1:8 But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should preach ¹  a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ²  let him be condemned to hell! ³  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! ⁴ 

Galatians 1:23

1:23 They were only hearing, “The one who once persecuted us is now proclaiming the good news ⁵  of the faith he once tried to destroy.”

[1:8]  ¹ tc ‡ Most witnesses have ὑμῖν (Jumin, “to you”) either after (א² A [D* ὑμᾶς] 6 33 326 614 945 1881 Ï Tert^pt Ambst) or before (Ì^51vid B H 0278 630 1175 [1739* ἡμῖν]) εὐαγγελίζηται (euaggelizhtai, “should preach” [or some variation on the form of this verb]). But the fact that it floats suggests its inauthenticity, especially since it appears to be a motivated reading for purposes of clarification. The following witnesses lack the pronoun: א* F G Ψ ar b g Cyp Mcion^T Tert^pt Lcf. The external evidence admittedly is not as weighty as evidence for the pronoun, but coupled with strong internal evidence the shorter reading should be considered original. Although it is possible that scribes may have deleted the pronoun to make Paul’s statement seem more universal, the fact that the pronoun floats suggests otherwise. NA²⁷ has the pronoun in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

[1:8]  ² tn Or “other than the one we preached to you.”

[1:8]  ³ tn Grk “let him be accursed” (ἀνάθεμα, anaqema). The translation gives the outcome which is implied by this dreadful curse.

[1:9]  ⁴ tn See the note on this phrase in the previous verse.

[1:23]  ⁷ tn The Greek verb here is εὐαγγελίζεται (euangelizetai).

[2:8]  ¹⁰ tn Or “worked through”; the same word is also used in relation to Paul later in this verse.

[2:8]  ¹¹ tn Or “his ministry as an apostle.”

[2:8]  ¹² tn Grk “to the circumcision,” i.e., the Jewish people.

[2:8]  ¹³ tn Grk “also empowered me to the Gentiles.”

[3:5]  ¹³ tn Or “provide.”

[3:5]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “by [the] works of [the] law” (the same phrase as in v. 2).

[3:5]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “by [the] hearing of faith” (the same phrase as in v. 2).

[3:11]  ¹⁶ tn Or “The one who is righteous by faith will live” (a quotation from Hab 2:4).

[3:18]  ¹⁹ tn On the translation “graciously gave” for χαρίζομαι (carizomai) see L&N 57.102.

[4:1]  ²² tn Grk “a small child.” The Greek term νήπιος (nhpios) refers to a young child, no longer a helpless infant but probably not more than three or four years old (L&N 9.43). The point in context, though, is that this child is too young to take any responsibility for the management of his assets.

[4:1]  ²³ tn Grk “master” or “lord” (κύριος, kurios).

[5:14]  ²⁵ tn Or “can be fulfilled in one commandment.”

[5:14]  ²⁶ sn A quotation from Lev 19:18.

[5:22]  ²⁸ tn That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.

[5:22]  ²⁹ sn Another way to punctuate this is “love” followed by a colon (love: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). It is thus possible to read the eight characteristics following “love” as defining love.

[5:22]  ³⁰ tn Or “reliability”; see BDAG 818 s.v. πίστις 1.a.

[6:7]  ³¹ tn Or “is not mocked,” “will not be ridiculed” (L&N 33.409). BDAG 660 s.v. μυκτηρίζω has “of God οὐ μ. he is not to be mocked, treated w. contempt, perh. outwitted Gal 6:7.”

[6:7]  ³² tn Here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense, referring to both men and women.
