Galatia 4:15

4:15 Where then is your sense of happiness ¹  now? For I testify about you that if it were possible, you would have pulled out your eyes and given them to me!

Galatia 4:17

4:17 They court you eagerly, ²  but for no good purpose; ³  they want to exclude you, so that you would seek them eagerly. ⁴ 

Galatia 5:10

5:10 I am confident ⁵  in the Lord that you will accept no other view. ⁶  But the one who is confusing ⁷  you will pay the penalty, ⁸  whoever he may be.

[4:15]  ¹ tn Or “blessedness.”

[4:17]  ² tn Or “They are zealous for you.”

[4:17]  ³ tn Or “but not commendably” (BDAG 505 s.v. καλῶς 2).

[4:17]  ⁴ tn Or “so that you would be zealous.”

[5:10]  ⁵ tn The verb translated “I am confident” (πέποιθα, pepoiqa) comes from the same root in Greek as the words translated “obey” (πείθεσθαι, peiqesqai) in v. 7 and “persuasion” (πεισμονή, peismonh) in v. 8.

[5:10]  ⁶ tn Grk “that you will think nothing otherwise.”

[5:10]  ⁷ tn Or “is stirring you up”; Grk “is troubling you.” In context Paul is referring to the confusion and turmoil caused by those who insist that Gentile converts to Christianity must observe the Mosaic law.

[5:10]  ⁸ tn Or “will suffer condemnation” (L&N 90.80); Grk “will bear his judgment.” The translation “must pay the penalty” is given as an explanatory gloss on the phrase by BDAG 171 s.v. βαστάζω 2.b.β.
