Galatians 5:6
Context5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight – the only thing that matters is faith working through love. 1
Galatians 5:22-23
Context5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit 2 is love, 3 joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 4 5:23 gentleness, and 5 self-control. Against such things there is no law.
[5:6] 1 tn Grk “but faith working through love.”
[5:22] 2 tn That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.
[5:22] 3 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] 4 tn Or “reliability”; see BDAG 818 s.v. πίστις 1.a.
[5:23] 5 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.
