Galatians 6:6

Context

6:6 Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches 2  it.

1 tn Grk “those that by nature…” with the word “beings” implied. BDAG 1070 s.v. φύσις 2 sees this as referring to pagan worship: “Polytheists worship…beings that are by nature no gods at all Gal 4:8.”

2 tn Or “instructs,” “imparts.”
