Galatians 3:7

Context
3:7 so then, understand 1  that those who believe are the sons of Abraham. 2 

Galatians 3:9

Context
3:9 So then those who believe 3  are blessed along with Abraham the believer.

1 tn Grk “know.”

2 tn The phrase “sons of Abraham” is used here in a figurative sense to describe people who are connected to a personality, Abraham, by close nonmaterial ties. It is this personality that has defined the relationship and its characteristics (BDAG 1024-25 s.v. υἱός 2.c.α).

3 tn Grk “those who are by faith,” with the Greek expression “by faith” (ἐκ πίστεως, ek pistew") the same as the expression in v. 8.
