Galatia 2:12

2:12 Until ¹  certain people came from James, he had been eating with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he stopped doing this ²  and separated himself ³  because he was afraid of those who were pro-circumcision. ⁴ 

Galatia 6:4

6:4 Let each one examine ⁵  his own work. Then he can take pride ⁶  in himself and not compare himself with ⁷  someone else.

[2:12]  ¹ tn The conjunction γάρ has not been translated here.

[2:12]  ² tn Grk “he drew back.” If ἑαυτόν (Jeauton) goes with both ὑπέστελλεν (Jupestellen) and ἀφώριζεν (afwrizen) rather than only the latter, the meaning would be “he drew himself back” (see BDAG 1041 s.v. ὑποστέλλω 1.a).

[2:12]  ³ tn Or “and held himself aloof.”

[2:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “the [ones] of the circumcision,” that is, the group of Jewish Christians who insisted on circumcision of Gentiles before they could become Christians.

[6:4]  ⁵ tn Or “determine the genuineness of.”

[6:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “he will have a reason for boasting.”

[6:4]  ⁷ tn Or “and not in regard to.” The idea of comparison is implied in the context.
