Discovery BoxGalatians 1:12 
Context1:12 For I did not receive it or learn it from any human source; 1 instead I received it 2 by a revelation of Jesus Christ. 3
Galatians 3:14
Context3:14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, 4 so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
1 tn Or “I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it.”
2 tn The words “I received it” are not in the Greek text but are implied.
3 tn It is difficult to determine what kind of genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ (Ihsou Cristou) is. If it is a subjective genitive, the meaning is “a revelation from Jesus Christ” but if objective genitive, it is “a revelation about Jesus Christ.” Most likely this is objective since the explanation in vv. 15-16 mentions God revealing the Son to Paul so that he might preach, although the idea of a direct revelation to Paul at some point cannot be ruled out.
4 tn Or “so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus.”
