1.1 KiB
Galatians 06 General Notes
Structure and formatting
This chapter concludes Paul's letter. His final words address some issues that do not seem to be connected to the rest of his letter.
Brothers
Paul writes the words in this chapter to Christians. He calls them "brothers." This refers to Paul's Christian brothers and not his Jewish brothers.
Special concepts in this chapter
New Creation
People who are born again are a new creation in Christ. Christians have been given new life in Christ. They have a new nature in them after they come to faith in Christ. To Paul, this is more significant than a person's ancestry. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/bornagain and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith)
Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
Flesh
This is a complex issue. "Flesh" is contrasted with "spirit." In this chapter, flesh is also used to refer to the physical body. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/flesh and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/spirit)
