[5:25]  ¹ tn Or “let us also follow,” “let us also walk by.”

[3:3]  ² tn Grk “Having begun”; the participle ἐναρξάμενοι (enarxamenoi) has been translated concessively.

[3:3]  ³ tn Or “by the Spirit.”

[3:3]  ⁴ tn The verb ἐπιτελεῖσθε (epiteleisqe) has been translated as a conative present (see ExSyn 534). This is something the Galatians were attempting to do, but could not accomplish successfully.

[3:3]  ⁵ tn Grk “in/by [the] flesh.”

[4:29]  ³ tn Grk “according to the flesh”; see the note on the phrase “by natural descent” in 4:23.

[4:29]  ⁴ tn Or “the one born by the Spirit’s [power].”

[5:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “walk” (a common NT idiom for how one conducts one’s life or how one behaves).

[5:16]  ⁵ 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.

[6:18]  ⁵ tn Or “is.” No verb is stated, but a wish (“be”) rather than a declarative statement (“is”) is most likely in a concluding greeting such as this.

[6:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[5:17]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Or “are hostile toward” (L&N 39.1).

[6:8]  ⁷ tn BDAG 915 s.v. σάρξ 2.c.α states: “In Paul’s thought esp., all parts of the body constitute a totality known as σ. or flesh, which is dominated by sin to such a degree that wherever flesh is, all forms of sin are likew. present, and no good thing can live in the σάρξ…Gal 5:13, 24;…Opp. τὸ πνεῦμα…Gal 3:3; 5:16, 17ab; 6:8ab.”

[6:8]  ⁸ tn Or “destruction.”

[6:8]  ⁹ tn See the note on the previous occurrence of the word “flesh” in this verse.

[3:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “by [the] works of [the] law,” a reference to observing the Mosaic law.

[3:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “by [the] hearing of faith.”

[3:5]  ⁹ tn Or “provide.”

[3:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “by [the] works of [the] law” (the same phrase as in v. 2).

[3:5]  ¹¹ tn Grk “by [the] hearing of faith” (the same phrase as in v. 2).

[5:22]  ¹⁰ tn That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.

[5:22]  ¹¹ 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]  ¹² tn Or “reliability”; see BDAG 818 s.v. πίστις 1.a.

[3:14]  ¹¹ tn Or “so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus.”

[4:6]  ¹² tn Grk “calling.” The participle is neuter indicating that the Spirit is the one who calls.

[4:6]  ¹³ tn The term “Abba” is the Greek transliteration of the Aramaic אַבָּא (’abba’), literally meaning “my father” but taken over simply as “father,” used in prayer and in the family circle, and later taken over by the early Greek-speaking Christians (BDAG 1 s.v. ἀββα).

[6:1]  ¹³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[6:1]  ¹⁴ tn Here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense, referring to both men and women.
