SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:13–26: Let the Spirit of God lead you

In this section, Paul talked about what freedom means. He no longer focused on how a person is made righteous. He focused on how a person who has received the righteousness of Christ should live.

Paul told the Galatians that choosing to live their lives in the power of the Holy Spirit would keep them from living sinful lives. It would keep them from living as slaves to the law. A life lived in the Spirit is a life of love for each other.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Follow closely the Spirit of God

Obey God’s Spirit, not your sinful desires

Paragraph 5:24–26

This paragraph is the conclusion to this section. In this paragraph, Paul reminded the Galatians that the works of the flesh have been crucified. So they should walk by the Spirit.

5:24a

Those who belong to Christ Jesus

¶ Those people who belong to Christ Jesus
¶ Those who are Jesus the Christ’s people,
¶ When we^(incl) are Christ Jesus’ people/followers,

Those who belong to Christ Jesus: This clause is similar in meaning to “those who are in Christ” and “you are led by the Spirit” (in 5:18a). All these clauses refer to believers.

Some other ways to translate this clause are:

Those who are of Christ Jesus

Those who are Christ Jesus’ people

Those who are united with Jesus Christ

5:24b

have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

have crucified the sinful nature together with its passions and desires.
it’s as if they have nailed to a cross their corrupt nature. They have put to death their cravings and evil desires.
we do not allow our sinful/evil hearts to rule/command us.

have crucified the flesh: The clause that the BSB translates as have crucified the flesh means “have put the human nature to death on a cross.”

This clause is a metaphor. In this metaphor, stopping the works of the flesh is compared to crucifying a person. They are similar in that both end certain actions. Believers no longer live dominated by the sinful nature.

Some ways to translate this clause are:

Keep the metaphor of crucifixion. For example:
have nailed the sinful nature to the cross
Keep the part of the metaphor about killing the flesh. For example:
have put to death the corrupt nature
we have killed our selfish feelings (CEV)
Change the metaphor to a simile. For example:
it is as if they have crucified their sinful nature
have stopped doing what their sinful self wants. It’s as if they have nailed to the cross their sinful nature
Translate the meaning directly without using a figure of speech. For example:
have stopped doing what their sinful self wants
their evil hearts no longer rule/command them

See flesh, Meaning 5 in the Glossary.

with its passions and desires: The two Greek nouns that the BSB translates as passions and desires are a doublet. This means that these two words mean almost the same thing. These words refer to the longings that come naturally from the sinful nature. These longings are also crucified.

Some ways to translate these two nouns are:

Find two terms in your language to translate these two nouns. For example:
selfish feelings and desires (CEV)
evil cravings and desires
Translate both Greek nouns with one word plus an intensifier. For example:
with its lustful affections
our evil desires

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

τὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τήν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σύν τοῖς παθήμασιν καί ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις)

Here Paul speaks of the flesh as if it were a person that believers have crucified. He means that Christians refuse to live according to their sinful natures. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [refuse to live according to their sinful natures]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν σάρκα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τήν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σύν τοῖς παθήμασιν καί ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις)

See how you translated the same use of the flesh in [5:13](../05/13.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις

its passions (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τήν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σύν τοῖς παθήμασιν καί ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις)

These phrases specifically refer to the passions and desires of the flesh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [its passion and desires]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of passions, and desires, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [what it is passionate about and what it desires]
