Galatians 6:14

6:14 But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which ¹  the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Galatians 4:3

4:3 So also we, when we were minors, ²  were enslaved under the basic forces ³  of the world.

[6:14]  ¹ tn Or perhaps, “through whom,” referring to the Lord Jesus Christ rather than the cross.

[4:3]  ² tn See the note on the word “minor” in 4:1.

[4:3]  ³ tn Or “basic principles,” “elemental things,” or “elemental spirits.” Some interpreters take this as a reference to supernatural powers who controlled nature and/or human fate.
