Galatians 1:9

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! ¹ 

Galatians 1:11

Paul’s Vindication of His Apostleship

1:11 Now ²  I want you to know, brothers and sisters, ³  that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 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.”

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

[1:11]  ² tc ‡ The conjunction δέ (de) is found in Ì⁴⁶ א*^,2 A D¹ Ψ 1739 1881 Ï sy bo, while γάρ (gar) is the conjunction of choice in א¹ B D*^,c F G 33 pc lat sa. There are thus good representatives on each side. Scribes generally tended to prefer γάρ in such instances, most likely because it was more forceful and explicit. γάρ is thus seen as a motivated reading. For this reason, δέ is preferred.

[1:11]  ³ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).

[1:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “is not according to man.”

[1:23]  ³ tn The Greek verb here is εὐαγγελίζεται (euangelizetai).
