Galatians 2:15

Jews and Gentiles are Justified by Faith

2:15 We are Jews by birth ¹  and not Gentile sinners, ² 

Galatians 5:8

5:8 This persuasion ³  does not come from the one who calls you!

Galatians 5:18

5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

[2:15]  ¹ tn Grk “by nature.”

[2:15]  ² tn Grk “and not sinners from among the Gentiles.”

[5:8]  ³ tn Grk “The persuasion,” referring to their being led away from the truth (v. 7). There is a play on words here that is not easily reproducible in the English translation: The words translated “obey” (πείθεσθαι, peiqesqai) in v. 7 and “persuasion” (πεισμονή, peismonh) in v. 8 come from the same root in Greek.
