GAL 5:8 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–12: Remain in the freedom you have in Christ

In this section, Paul tried to persuade the Galatians believers not to yield to the pressure from the false teachers to get circumcised. He warned them that if they became circumcised in order to receive God’s approval, then they would have rejected the grace and freedom that God had given them. They would become slaves again. He encouraged them to refuse circumcision and remain free.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Keep your freedom (NCV)

Do not become slaves again

Paragraph 5:7–10

In this paragraph, Paul warned the Galatians about the false teachers. They were dangerous. But God would judge them.

5:8

Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you.

This teaching is not from God who called you.
The teaching of the people who persuaded you to stop obeying the truth is not from God who called/invited you to follow him.
That way of thinking is not from God. He called you to believe.

Such persuasion: This phrase refers to the teaching of the false teachers who were trying to persuade the Galatians to stop obeying the truth of the gospel (in 5:7). Specifically, it refers to the teaching that the Galatians needed to be circumcised.

Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

Those arguments

That teaching

Their persuading you

The teaching of those who are trying to persuade you to be circumcised

does not come from the One who calls you: The phrase the One who calls you refers to God. He is the one who called the Galatians to himself.

Paul stated that the false teaching was the idea of those leading the Galatians astray. It was not from God.

Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

are not from God who called you to believe

is not from God. He invited you to be his followers.

Be careful that your translation of the clause who calls you does not imply that there is another God who does not call you.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ πεισμονὴ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἡ πεισμονή οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς)

Here, persuasion refers to some Galatians being persuaded to obey the laws God gave the Jews instead of trusting solely in Jesus to save them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [You being persuaded to stop trusting in the Messiah]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦ καλοῦντος ὑμᾶς

the_‹one› calling you_all

Here, the one calling you refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [God, who is calling you]
