NET Notes

¹tn Grk “Having begun”; the participle ἐναρξάμενοι (enarxamenoi) has been translated concessively.

²tn Or “by the Spirit.”

³tn 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.

⁴tn Grk “in/by [the] flesh.”
