Footnotes

2. Galatians 2:7 tn Grk “to the uncircumcision,” that is, to the Gentiles.
3. Galatians 2:7 tn Grk “to the circumcision,” a collective reference to the Jewish people.
4. Galatians 2:8 tn Or “worked through”; the same word is also used in relation to Paul later in this verse.
5. Galatians 2:8 tn Or “his ministry as an apostle.”
6. Galatians 2:8 tn Grk “to the circumcision,” i.e., the Jewish people.
