Galatians 5:22

5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit ¹  is love, ²  joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ³ 

Galatians 5:8

5:8 This persuasion ⁴  does not come from the one who calls you!

Galatians 1:7

1:7 not that there really is another gospel, ⁵  but ⁶  there are some who are disturbing you and wanting ⁷  to distort the gospel of Christ.

[5:22]  ¹ tn That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.

[5:22]  ² sn Another way to punctuate this is “love” followed by a colon (love: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). It is thus possible to read the eight characteristics following “love” as defining love.

[5:22]  ³ tn Or “reliability”; see BDAG 818 s.v. πίστις 1.a.

[5:8]  ⁴ 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.

[1:7]  ⁷ tn Grk “which is not another,” but this could be misunderstood to mean “which is not really different.” In fact, as Paul goes on to make clear, there is no other gospel than the one he preaches.

[1:7]  ⁸ tn Grk “except.”

[1:7]  ⁹ tn Or “trying.”
