Galatians 3:25

3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. ¹ 

Galatians 4:28

4:28 But you, ²  brothers and sisters, ³  are children of the promise like Isaac.

Galatians 4:31

4:31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, ⁴  we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

[3:25]  ¹ tn See the note on the word “guardian” in v. 24. The punctuation of vv. 25, 26, and 27 is difficult to represent because of the causal connections between each verse. English style would normally require a comma either at the end of v. 25 or v. 26, but in so doing the translation would then link v. 26 almost exclusively with either v. 25 or v. 27; this would be problematic as scholars debate which two verses are to be linked. Because of this, the translation instead places a period at the end of each verse. This preserves some of the ambiguity inherent in the Greek and does not exclude any particular causal connection.

[4:28]  ² tc Most mss (א A C D² Ψ 062 Ï lat sy bo) read “we” here, while “you” is found in Ì⁴⁶ B D* F G 0261^vid 0278 33 1739 al sa. It is more likely that a copyist, noticing the first person pronouns in vv. 26 and 31, changed a second person pronoun here to first person for consistency.
