Galatians 2:5

But ¹  we did not surrender to them ²  even for a moment, ³  in order that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. ⁴ 

Ac 15:2; Ga 2:14; Ga 3:1,2; Ga 4:16; Eph 1:13; Col 1:5; Col 2:4-8; 1Th 2:13; Jude 1:3

¹ tn Grk “slaves, nor did we…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, οὐδέ (oude) was translated as “But…even” and a new sentence started in the translation at the beginning of v. 5.

² tn Or “we did not cave in to their demands.”

³ tn Grk “even for an hour” (an idiom for a very short period of time).

⁴ sn In order that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. Paul evidently viewed the demands of the so-called “false brothers” as a departure from the truth contained in the gospel he preached. This was a very serious charge (see Gal 1:8).
