Galatians 5:1

Freedom of the Believer

5:1 For freedom ⁴  Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke ⁵  of slavery.

Galatians 6:10

6:10 So then, ⁶  whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith. ⁷ 

[3:5]  ¹ tn Or “provide.”

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

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

[5:1]  ⁴ tn Translating the dative as “For freedom” shows the purpose for Christ setting us free; however, it is also possible to take the phrase in the sense of means or instrument (“with [or by] freedom”), referring to the freedom mentioned in 4:31 and implied throughout the letter.

[5:1]  ⁵ sn Here the yoke figuratively represents the burdensome nature of slavery.

[6:10]  ⁷ tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what Paul has been arguing.

[6:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “to those who are members of the family of [the] faith.”
