Semantic entry: 11.39

Semantic domains: Groups and Classes of Persons and Members of Such Groups and Classes

Subdomains: Socio-Religious

Definition: (derivative of ἔθνος ‘nation,’ 11.55: ἔθνος / 11.55: λαός) pertaining to being like or similar to one who is not a Jew

Notes: In RV GAL 2:14 · LV GAL 2:14 · Read together GAL 2:14 one cannot use some such expression as ‘like those who do not believe in God’ (compare τὰ ἔθνη, 11.37: ἔθνος), since here the contrast is between two types of believers, Jews and non-Jews. Frequently there is no specific term for ‘Gentile’ in contrast with Jews, and therefore it may be important to speak of ‘Gentiles’ as ‘those who are not Jews.’ RV GAL 2:14 · LV GAL 2:14 · Read together GAL 2:14 may then be rendered as ‘you are a Jew, but you have been living like those who are not Jews.’

14 but when I saw that they weren’t being honest with the truth of the good message, I had to say to Kefa in front of everybody, “If you Yehudim are living more like non-Jews, and not like strict Yehudim, how can you force non-Jews to obey all the Jewish traditions?”

OET-LV GAL 2:14

14 But when I _saw that they _are_ not _walking _straight with the truth of _the good _message, I _said to_ the _Kaʸfas before all:
If you a_Youdaios, being paganly and not Youdaiōns are _living, how are _you _compelling the pagans to _be _Judaizing?
