A Collection to Aid Jewish Christians

16:1 With regard to the collection for the saints, please follow the directions that I gave to the churches of Galatia: ⁷ 

[1:17]  ¹ tn Grk “would not be emptied.”

[8:12]  ² tn See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[9:19]  ³ tn Or “more converts.” The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. It has been supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning.

[10:7]  ⁴ tn The term “play” may refer to idolatrous, sexual play here, although that is determined by the context rather than the meaning of the word itself (cf. BDAG 750 s.v. παίζω).

[10:7]  sn A quotation from Exod 32:6.

[13:11]  ⁵ tn The Greek term translated “adult” here is ἀνήρ (anhr), a term which ordinarily refers to males, husbands, etc. In this context Paul contrasts the states of childhood and adulthood, so the term has been translated “adult”; cf. BDAG 79 s.v. 1.b.

[15:58]  ⁶ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[16:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also you yourselves do.”
