Galatians 2:14
Context2:14 But when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas 3 in front of them all, “If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to force 4 the Gentiles to live like Jews?”


[4:1] 1 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] 2 tn Grk “master” or “lord” (κύριος, kurios).
[2:14] 3 sn Cephas. This individual is generally identified with the Apostle Peter (L&N 93.211).
[2:14] 4 tn Here ἀναγκάζεις (anankazei") has been translated as a conative present (see ExSyn 534).
