Notas al pie

1. Galatians 5:16 tn Grk “walk” (a common NT idiom for how one conducts one’s life or how one behaves).
2. Galatians 5:16 tn On the term “flesh” (once in this verse and twice in v. 17) see the note on the same word in Gal 5:13.
3. Galatians 5:17 tn The words “has desires” do not occur in the Greek text a second time, but are repeated in the translation for clarity.
4. Galatians 5:17 tn Or “are hostile toward” (L&N 39.1).
5. Galatians 5:19 tn See the note on the word “flesh” in Gal 5:13.
6. Galatians 5:19 tn Or “clear,” “evident.”
7. Galatians 5:20 tn Or “witchcraft.”
8. Galatians 5:20 tn Or “enmities,” “[acts of] hatred.”
9. Galatians 5:20 tn Or “discord” (L&N 39.22).
10. Galatians 5:20 tn Or “discord(s)” (L&N 39.13).
11. Galatians 5:21 tn This term is plural in Greek (as is “murder” and “carousing”), but for clarity these abstract nouns have been translated as singular.
12. Galatians 5:21 tc ‡ φόνοι (phonoi, “murders”) is absent in such significant mss as P⁴⁶ א B 33 81 323 945 sa, while the majority of mss (A C D F G Ψ 0122 0278 1175 1241 1505 1739 1881 2464 M lat bo) have the word. Although the pedigree of the mss which lack the term is of the highest degree, homoioteleuton may explain the shorter reading. The preceding word has merely one letter difference, making it quite possible to overlook this term (φθόνοι φόνοι, phthonoi phonoi). At the same time, φθόνου φόνου (phthonou phonou, “envy, murder”) is solidly attested in Rom 1:29, suggesting that scribes were not necessarily prone to dropping “murder” accidentally. A decision is difficult, with a slight preference for phonoi here.
13. Galatians 5:21 tn Or “revelings,” “orgies” (L&N 88.287).
14. Galatians 5:22 tn That is, the fruit the Spirit produces.
15. Galatians 5:22 sn Another way to punctuate this is “love” followed by a colon (love: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). It is thus possible to read the eight characteristics following “love” as defining love.
16. Galatians 5:22 tn Or “reliability”; see BDAG 818 s.v. πίστις 1.a.
17. Galatians 5:23 tn “And” is supplied here as a matter of English style, which normally inserts “and” between the last two elements of a list or series.
18. Galatians 5:24 tc ‡ Some mss (א A B C P Ψ 0122¹ 0278 33 1175 1241 1739 1881 co) read “Christ Jesus” here, while many significant ones (P⁴⁶ D F G 0122*^,2 1505 2464 latt sy), as well as the Byzantine text, lack “Jesus.” The Byzantine text is especially not prone to omit the name “Jesus”; that it does so here argues for the authenticity of the shorter reading (for similar instances of probably authentic Byzantine shorter readings, see Matt 24:36 and Phil 1:14; cf. also W.-H. J. Wu, “A Systematic Analysis of the Shorter Readings in the Byzantine Text of the Synoptic Gospels” [Ph.D. diss., Dallas Theological Seminary, 2002]). On the strength of the alignment of P⁴⁶ with the Western and Byzantine text-groups, the shorter reading is preferred. NA²⁸ includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
19. Galatians 5:24 tn See the note on the word “flesh” in Gal 5:13.
20. Galatians 5:24 tn The Greek term παθήμασιν (pathēmasin, translated “passions”) refers to strong physical desires, especially of a sexual nature (L&N 25.30).
21. Galatians 5:25 tn Or “let us also follow,” “let us also walk by.”
22. Galatians 5:26 tn Or “falsely proud.”
23. Galatians 5:26 tn Or “irritating.” BDAG 871 s.v. προκαλέω has “provoke, challenge τινά someone.”
24. Galatians 5:26 tn Or “another, envying one another.”
