TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Circumcision in the New Testament

Circumcision (cutting off the male foreskin) was widely practiced in the ancient Near East (see Jer 9:25-26). For Jews, it had religious significance as the sign of the covenant that God had established with the people of Israel (Gen 17:9-14; Josh 5:2; John 7:22; Acts 7:8; Sirach 44:20). It was normally performed on the eighth day of a male infant’s life (Gen 17:12; Lev 12:3; Luke 1:59; Acts 7:8). The New Testament notes the circumcision of John the Baptist, Jesus, Paul, and Timothy (Luke 1:59; 2:21; Acts 16:2-3; Phil 3:5). Circumcision became a metaphor for the renewal of a person’s relationship with God (Deut 10:16; 30:6; Jer 4:4; Rom 2:28-29). In the late 40s AD, some Jewish Christians tried to require Gentile Christians to undergo circumcision (Acts 15:1, 5; see 21:20-21; Gal 2:4, 11-13), to which Paul and Barnabas objected (Acts 15:2). The ensuing church council at Jerusalem settled the matter in favor of not requiring Gentiles to be circumcised (15:19-21, 28-29).

Paul insisted that “it makes no difference whether or not a man has been circumcised” (1 Cor 7:19). “What is important is faith expressing itself in love” (Gal 5:6). In Galatians, Paul argued against vigorous Jewish opponents and insisted that everyone enters God’s family simply through faith in Jesus Christ (Gal 2:14-21). Circumcision is not required for acceptance by God (Gal 5:6). The cross of Christ is the way that sinners enter into covenant with God (Gal 2:14-21; Col 2:11-15).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀνθρώποις παραδεδωκόσι

men /having/_given_over

By men, the letter implicitly means Paul and Barnabas. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Those two men have handed over”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

παραδεδωκόσι τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν

/having/_given_over the lives ˱of˲_them

The letter is using the term souls to mean the lives of Paul and Barnabas, by association with the way a living person has a soul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “having handed over their lives”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παραδεδωκόσι τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν

/having/_given_over the lives ˱of˲_them

The letter is speaking as if Paul and Barnabas have literally handed over their lives. This means that they have been willing to risk their lives. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “having put their lives at risk”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

for the name ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

This is a figurative expression. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. This could mean: (1) that the name of Jesus represents his person. Alternate translation: “out of loyalty to our Lord Jesus Christ” (2) that the name of Jesus represents his cause in the world. Alternate translation: “for the cause of our Lord Jesus Christ”
