Galatians 5:16-21

Context
5:16 But I say, live 1  by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. 2  5:17 For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires 3  that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to 4  each other, so that you cannot do what you want. 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 5:19 Now the works of the flesh 5  are obvious: 6  sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, 7  hostilities, 8  strife, 9  jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, 10  factions, 5:21 envying, 11  murder, 12  drunkenness, carousing, 13  and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!

Galatians 5:23

[5:16]  1 tn Grk “walk” (a common NT idiom for how one conducts one’s life or how one behaves).

[5:16]  2 tn On the term “flesh” (once in this verse and twice in v. 17) see the note on the same word in Gal 5:13.

[5:17]  3 tn The words “has desires” do not occur in the Greek text a second time, but are repeated in the translation for clarity.

[5:17]  4 tn Or “are hostile toward” (L&N 39.1).

[5:19]  5 tn See the note on the word “flesh” in Gal 5:13.

[5:19]  6 tn Or “clear,” “evident.”

[5:20]  7 tn Or “witchcraft.”

[5:20]  8 tn Or “enmities,” “[acts of] hatred.”

[5:20]  9 tn Or “discord” (L&N 39.22).

[5:20]  10 tn Or “discord(s)” (L&N 39.13).

[5:21]  11 tn This term is plural in Greek (as is “murder” and “carousing”), but for clarity these abstract nouns have been translated as singular.

[5:21]  12 tcφόνοι (fonoi, “murders”) is absent in such important mss as Ì46 א B 33 81 323 945 pc sa, while the majority of mss (A C D F G Ψ 0122 0278 1739 1881 Ï lat) have the word. Although the pedigree of the mss which lack the term is of the highest degree, homoioteleuton may well explain the shorter reading. The preceding word has merely one letter difference, making it quite possible to overlook this term (φθόνοι φόνοι, fqonoi fonoi).

[5:21]  13 tn Or “revelings,” “orgies” (L&N 88.287).

[5:23]  14 tn “And” is supplied here as a matter of English style, which normally inserts “and” between the last two elements of a list or series.
