Galatia 3:29

3:29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, ¹  heirs according to the promise.

Galatia 4:19

4:19 My children – I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you! ² 

Galatia 5:18

5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

[3:29]  ¹ tn Grk “seed.” See the note on the first occurrence of the word “descendant” in 3:16.

[4:19]  ² tn Grk “My children, for whom I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you.” The relative clauses in English do not pick up the emotional force of Paul’s language here (note “tone of voice” in v. 20, indicating that he is passionately concerned for them); hence, the translation has been altered slightly to capture the connotative power of Paul’s plea.

[4:19]  sn That is, until Christ’s nature or character is formed in them (see L&N 58.4).
