Galatia 5:10

5:10 I am confident ⁴  in the Lord that you will accept no other view. ⁵  But the one who is confusing ⁶  you will pay the penalty, ⁷  whoever he may be.

[4:18]  ¹ tn Or “commendable.”

[4:18]  ² tn Or “to be zealous.”

[4:18]  ³ tn Grk “But it is always good to be zealous in good.”

[5:10]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Grk “that you will think nothing otherwise.”

[5:10]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ 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.
