Paul had asked foolish Galatians<\/i><\/a> to consider: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?<\/i>1<\/sup><\/a> He continued describing the fruit (result<\/a>) of the Spirit (Galatians 5:25-6:5 ESV).<\/span><\/p>\n

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness<\/a>. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another\u2019s burdens, and so fulfill<\/a> the law of Christ [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>Since we live by the Spirit<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greek is: \u0395\u1f30<\/a>, If <\/i>(or, \u201cSince\u201d), \u03b6\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a>, we live<\/i>, \u03c0\u03bd\u03b5\u1f7b\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9<\/a>, by the Spirit<\/i>. The Greek word \u03b6\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b6\u03ac\u03c9<\/a>, could be understood in the indicative mood<\/a>, as \u201ca statement of fact,\u201d or in the subjunctive mood<\/a>, as an action that \u201cwill possibly happen, depending on certain objective factors or circumstances.\u201d The translation we live<\/i>, rather than we may live<\/i>, acknowledges the indicative mood. Paul had written of himself (Galatians 2:19 ESV): <\/span><\/p>\n

For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here the Greek was: \u1f10\u03b3\u1f7c<\/a> \u03b3\u1f70\u03c1<\/a>, For I<\/i>, \u03b4\u03b9\u1f70<\/a> \u03bd\u1f79\u03bc\u03bf\u03c5<\/a>, through the law<\/i>, \u03bd\u1f79\u03bc\u1ff3<\/a>, to the law<\/i> (or, \u201cby means of the law\u201d), \u1f00\u03c0\u1f73\u03b8\u03b1\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, died<\/i>, \u1f35\u03bd\u03b1<\/a>, so that<\/i>, \u03b8\u03b5\u1ff7<\/a>, to God<\/i> (or, \u201cby means of God\u201d), \u03b6\u1f75\u03c3\u03c9<\/a>, I might live<\/i>. Here \u03b6\u1f75\u03c3\u03c9<\/a>, another form of \u03b6\u03ac\u03c9<\/a>, was in the subjunctive mood<\/a>, though the conjunction \u1f35\u03bd\u03b1<\/a> indicates that it is part of a result clause.<\/span><\/p>\n

…if the subjunctive mood is used in a purpose or result clause, then the action should not be thought of as a possible result, but should be viewed as a definite outcome that will happen as a result of another stated action.2<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In this instance \u201canother stated action\u201d was \u201cI through the law by means of the law died\u201d \u1f00\u03c0\u1f73\u03b8\u03b1\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03b8\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>. Was this a unique and special achievement of Paul’s? Likewise, my brothers, you also have died<\/i> (\u1f10\u03b8\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u1f7d\u03b8\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>, a form of \u03b8\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03cc\u03c9<\/a>; literally, \u201cyou have been put to death\u201d) to the law<\/i> (\u03c4\u1ff7<\/a> \u03bd\u1f79\u03bc\u1ff3<\/a>; or, \u201cby means of the law\u201d) through the body of Christ<\/i>.3<\/sup><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

He wrote elsewhere (Romans 6:3, 4 ESV).<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death (\u03b8\u1f71\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b8\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>)<\/em>?

And so, Paul wrote of himself (Galatians 2:20 NET):<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

None of this has anything to do with being perfected by the flesh <\/i>(\u03c3\u03b1\u03c1\u03ba\u1f76<\/a> \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5<\/a>). It is only achieved by hearing with faith<\/i> (\u1f10\u03be<\/a> \u1f00\u03ba\u03bf\u1fc6\u03c2<\/a> \u03c0\u1f77\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c9\u03c2<\/a>). Paul continued describing the result of the Spirit: \u03c0\u03bd\u03b5\u1f7b\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9<\/a>, with <\/i>(or, \u201cby\u201d) the Spirit<\/i>, \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a>, also<\/i>, \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9\u03c7\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a>, let us…keep in step<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>By the Spirit also we may keep in step<\/span><\/p>\n

In Paul’s letters only one other occurrence<\/a> of \u03c0\u03bd\u03b5\u1f7b\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9<\/a> (without any modifiers) was translated with the Spirit<\/i> in the ESV [see Table<\/a> below].<\/span><\/p>\n

And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit (\u03c0\u03bd\u03b5\u1f7b\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9<\/a>)<\/em> of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts<\/a>.4<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This translation seems to have been an accommodation to match the adjective \u03bc\u1f73\u03bb\u03b1\u03bd\u03b9<\/a> (with ink<\/i>) in the dative case<\/a>, since by ink<\/i> may have sounded awkward in English. Still, both the dative adjective and dative noun can be easily understood as \u201cby means of ink\u201d and \u201cby means of the Spirit\u201d respectively. While it may still be possible to hear let us also keep in step with the Spirit<\/i>5<\/sup><\/a> as \u201cby means of the Spirit,\u201d the ESV translators used the formula let us <\/i>in Jesus’ command as let him<\/i> (Mark 8:34b ESV).<\/span><\/p>\n

If anyone<\/a> would come after<\/a> me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me [Table<\/a>].<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Greek word translated let him deny<\/i> was \u1f00\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03bd\u03b7\u03c3\u1f71\u03c3\u03b8\u03c9<\/a>,6<\/sup><\/a> an imperative form of \u1f00\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03bd\u03ad\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, he must deny<\/i> (NET<\/a>). And since the ESV translators chose7<\/sup><\/a> what sounds like the imperative option for \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c0\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c4\u03b5<\/a> (walk<\/i>) in But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh<\/i>,8<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0let us also keep in step with the Spirit<\/i>9<\/sup><\/a> sounds like \u201ca command or instruction given to the hearer, charging the hearer to carry out or perform a certain action.\u201d10<\/sup><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

It is as if it were written to foolish Galatians<\/i><\/a> who, while attempting to be perfected by the flesh<\/i>,11<\/sup><\/a> had rushed ahead, were lagging behind or were in some other way out of cadence with the Spirit<\/i>. This translation may well be an insightful paraphrase of the problem caused by any attempt to be perfected by the flesh<\/i>, but the solution is not a work that foolish Galatians<\/i> (or anyone else) must achieve: slowing down, speeding up or doing a little hop and skip step. All attempts to be perfected by the flesh<\/i> are remedied by hearing with faith<\/i> (\u1f10\u03be<\/a> \u1f00\u03ba\u03bf\u1fc6\u03c2<\/a> \u03c0\u1f77\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c9\u03c2<\/a>).12<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>A more natural translation of \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9\u03c7\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a> in the subjunctive mood<\/a>\u2014\u201cwe may keep in step\u201d\u2014would sound less like we<\/i> are<\/i>…being perfected by the flesh<\/i>, or that Paul was restating the problem of being perfected by the flesh<\/i>, and more like a contingent solution to that problem: \u201cThe action of the verb will possibly happen, depending on certain objective factors or circumstances.\u201d The \u201cobjective factors or circumstances\u201d are \u201cby the Spirit (or even, with the Spirit<\/em>, understood instrumentally) also we may keep in step\u201d since we live by the Spirit<\/i>13<\/sup><\/a> by hearing with faith<\/i>.14<\/sup><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

We may not become conceited<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul continued: \u03bc\u1f74<\/a> \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u1f7d\u03bc\u03b5\u03b8\u03b1<\/a> \u03ba\u03b5\u03bd\u1f79\u03b4\u03bf\u03be\u03bf\u03b9<\/a>, Let us not become conceited<\/i>. Here, too, a more natural translation of the verb \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u1f7d\u03bc\u03b5\u03b8\u03b1<\/a>, a form of \u03b3\u03af\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9<\/a> in the subjunctive mood<\/a>\u2014\u201cwe may not become conceited\u201d\u2014renders this clause as another truth to believe \u201cby the Spirit since\u201d we live by the Spirit<\/i>15<\/sup><\/a> by hearing with faith<\/i>.16<\/sup><\/a> Granted, apart from any consideration of the function of subjunctive verbs in Koine Greek, \u201cwe may not become conceited\u201d can sound like another law of Paul: he does not grant us permission to become conceited. While this is a true statement, it was not exactly his point here in Greek: \u201cSince we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit we may keep in step; [by the Spirit] we may not become conceited.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The adjective \u03ba\u03b5\u03bd\u1f79\u03b4\u03bf\u03be\u03bf\u03b9<\/a>, a form of \u03ba\u03b5\u03bd\u03cc\u03b4\u03bf\u03be\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> (ESV: conceited<\/i>), only occurs here in the New Testament. According to the Topical Lexicon<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Word Origin<\/b>: From \u03ba\u03b5\u03bd\u03cc\u03c2<\/a> (kenos, meaning “empty”) and \u03b4\u03cc\u03be\u03b1<\/a> (doxa, meaning “glory” or “reputation”)<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Usage<\/b>: The term “kenodoxos” refers to someone who is excessively proud or boastful, seeking glory or recognition for themselves without substance or merit. It conveys the idea of being self-centered and having an inflated sense of one’s own importance, often at the expense of others.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Cultural and Historical Background<\/b>: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and reputation were highly valued, and individuals often sought to elevate their status through public recognition and achievements. The concept of “kenodoxos” would have been understood as a negative trait, as it implies a superficial pursuit of glory without genuine worth. In the early Christian context, humility and selflessness were emphasized as virtues, contrasting with the self-aggrandizing behavior denoted by “kenodoxos.”<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paul made his usage of \u03ba\u03b5\u03bd\u1f79\u03b4\u03bf\u03be\u03bf\u03b9<\/a> quite explicit: \u1f00\u03bb\u03bb\u1f75\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2<\/a> \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03bf\u1f7b\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9<\/a>, one another provoking<\/i>, \u1f00\u03bb\u03bb\u1f75\u03bb\u03bf\u03b9\u03c2<\/a> \u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf\u1fe6\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2<\/a>, one another<\/i> (or, by one another) envying<\/i>. The participle \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03bf\u1f7b\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9<\/a>, a form of the verb \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03ad\u03c9<\/a>, only occurs here in the New Testament. According to the Topical Lexicon<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Word Origin<\/b>: From \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc<\/a> (pro, “before”) and \u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03ad\u03c9<\/a> (kale\u00f3, “to call”)<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Usage<\/b>: The Greek verb “prokale\u00f3” primarily means to provoke or to challenge someone. It carries the connotation of inciting or stirring up a reaction, often in a confrontational or competitive manner. In the New Testament, it is used to describe actions that lead to contention or rivalry.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Cultural and Historical Background<\/b>: In the Greco-Roman world, public discourse and debate were common, and the act of provoking or challenging others was often seen in the context of philosophical discussions, legal disputes, or athletic competitions. The term “prokale\u00f3” would have been understood in this cultural milieu as an action that could lead to either positive engagement or negative conflict, depending on the context and intent.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The participle \u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf\u1fe6\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2<\/a>, a form of the verb \u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03bd\u03ad\u03c9<\/a> (ESV: envying<\/i>), only occurs here in the New Testament. According to the Topical Lexicon<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Word Origin<\/b>: Derived from \u03c6\u03b8\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> (phthonos), meaning “envy” or “jealousy.”<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Usage<\/b>: The verb “phthone\u00f3” is used in the New Testament to describe the act of envying or being jealous of someone. It conveys a sense of ill will or resentment towards another person due to their advantages, success, or possessions. This term is often associated with a negative moral and spiritual connotation, as envy is considered a vice that can lead to further sin and discord among individuals.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Cultural and Historical Background<\/b>: In the Greco-Roman world, envy was recognized as a destructive emotion that could disrupt social harmony and personal relationships. Philosophers like Aristotle and Plutarch discussed envy as a vice that should be avoided. In Jewish and early Christian teachings, envy was similarly viewed as a sin that could lead to other transgressions, such as strife and division within the community. The New Testament writers often warned against envy, emphasizing the importance of love, contentment, and unity among believers.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In context this does not mean to gently and humbly offer foolish Galatians<\/i> self-help tips that they might continue being perfected by the flesh<\/i>,21<\/sup><\/a> but restoration designed to reacquaint them with their walk by the Spirit, and<\/i> [they] will not gratify<\/i> (\u03bf\u1f50 \u03bc\u1f74 \u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u1f73\u03c3\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>) the desires of the flesh<\/i>.22<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The passive verb \u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03b1\u03c3\u03b8\u1fc7\u03c2<\/a>, a form of \u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9<\/a> in the aorist tense<\/a> and subjunctive mood<\/a>, means: to be tempted or enticed. And in the active voice<\/a> \u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9<\/a> points back to the \u201cobjective factors or circumstances\u201d on which the \u201cprobability or objective possibility\u201d of being tempted in the subjunctive mood<\/a> in this context depends: \u201cto try, attempt, make an attempt\u201d (e.g.<\/i>, to be perfected by the flesh<\/i>). This is the only imaginable circumstance24<\/sup><\/a> when those who are generally led by the Spirit<\/i>25<\/sup><\/a> gratify the desires of the flesh<\/i>.26<\/sup><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

Paul had already illustrated the difference between attempting to be perfected by the flesh<\/i> and by hearing with faith<\/i> in his recounting of a personal example (Galatians 2:11-14 ESV).<\/span><\/p>\n

But when Cephas<\/a> came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5\u03b3\u03bd\u03c9\u03c3\u03bc\u1f73\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>, a participle of \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>) [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him (\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03c5\u03c0\u03b5\u03ba\u03c1\u1f77\u03b8\u03b7\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03ba\u03c1\u03af\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u1ff7<\/a>)<\/em>, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy (\u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd<\/a> \u03c4\u1fc7<\/a> \u1f51\u03c0\u03bf\u03ba\u03c1\u1f77\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9<\/a>).27<\/sup><\/a><\/em> But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas<\/a> before them all, \u201cIf you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not<\/a> like a Jew, how<\/a> can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?\u201d [Table<\/a>]<\/em> <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How did the arrival of certain men<\/i>…from James<\/i> (\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2<\/a> \u1f00\u03c0\u1f78<\/a> \u1f38\u03b1\u03ba\u1f7d\u03b2\u03bf\u03c5<\/a>) exert such power over Cephas<\/i>, Barnabas<\/i> and the rest of the Jews<\/i>\u00a0in Antioch? The subtly misplaced emphasis of James’ teaching offers a clue (James 2:21-26 ESV).<\/span><\/p>\n

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, \u201cAbraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness\u201d\u2014and he was called a friend of God. You see<\/a> that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works (Joshua 2:8-13<\/a>)<\/em> when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works<\/a> is dead [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s worth mentioning that his works<\/i> in the clause faith was active along with his works<\/i> was \u03c4\u03bf\u1fd6\u03c2<\/a> \u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u03b9\u03c2<\/a> \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a> in Greek. But the translators added the personal pronoun his<\/i> (e.g.<\/i>, \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a>) to the next clause: \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> \u1f10\u03ba<\/a> \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd<\/a> \u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u03c9\u03bd<\/a> \u1f21<\/a> \u03c0\u1f77\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2<\/a> \u1f10\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u1f7d\u03b8\u03b7<\/a> (literally, \u201cand by\u201d or \u201cbecause of the works the faith\u201d or \u201cthe faithfulness<\/a> was brought to a successful conclusion\u201d). So part of the \u201csubtly misplaced emphasis\u201d may be a matter of translation. James’ \u201csubtly misplaced emphasis\u201d comes into view when considering his intended audience, the twelve tribes in the Dispersion<\/i><\/a> (Romans 9:30-32a ESV): <\/span><\/p>\n

What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law<\/a> [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works<\/a> (\u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u03c9\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>) [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

James preached the virtue of singing to the choir. His \u201csubtly misplaced emphasis\u201d can be realigned by asking: When Abraham offered up his son Isaac on the altar<\/i> was this work<\/i> the result of his being perfected by the flesh<\/i>28<\/sup><\/a> or by hearing with faith<\/i>?29<\/sup><\/a> By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, of whom it was said, \u201cThrough Isaac shall your offspring be named.\u201d He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back<\/i>.30<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Another well-known passage helps explain why Peter (Cephas) drew back<\/i> [from the Gentiles] and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party<\/i>31<\/sup><\/a> (2 Peter 1:3-8 ESV).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Having begun by the Spirit…32<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence<\/a> [Table<\/a>]<\/em>, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the<\/a> world because of sinful desire [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

…are you now being perfected by the flesh?33<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I inserted Paul’s words as topical headings to make my point explicitly. The Greek words translated make every effort<\/i> are \u03c0\u1fb6\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd<\/a> \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b5\u03b9\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd\u1f73\u03b3\u03ba\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2<\/a>, a participle of \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b5\u03b9\u03c3\u03c6\u03ad\u03c1\u03c9<\/a> in the active voice: \u201cto apply, bring to bear, make an effort; to bring in alongside; to add to.\u201d Okay, so far. But to supplement <\/i>is \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03c7\u03bf\u03c1\u03b7\u03b3\u1f75\u03c3\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>, an imperative form of the verb \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03c7\u03bf\u03c1\u03b7\u03b3\u03ad\u03c9<\/a> in the active voice: \u201cto furnish, provide for (at one’s own expense); to provide monetary needs; to give, grant; to support; to lead a chorus.\u201d What must I supplement<\/i> (\u201cadd\u201d) to all things that pertain to life and godliness<\/i>?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>I wrote elsewhere<\/a>: \u201cPeter\u2019s writing spoke to me long before Paul\u2019s made any sense at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time I was ready to believe Jesus again I was more than willing to <\/span><\/span><\/em>make every effort to add to [my] <\/em>faith excellence.7<\/a><\/sup> <\/em>Excellence is a contemporary attempt to rekindle some Greek fire<\/a> in Aret\u00e9 (\u1f00\u03c1\u03ad\u03c4\u03b7<\/a>), since virtue has become an old scold. I set out, discounting the Gospel as something I\u2019d already tried and found wanting<\/a>, to obey the law, <\/em>excellently, <\/em>virtuously. And I saw my efforts as the only sure way of <\/em>escaping the worldly8<\/a><\/sup> <\/em>corruption that is produced by evil desire (\u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b8\u03c5\u03bc\u1f77\u1fb3<\/a>, a form of \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b8\u03c5\u03bc\u03af\u03b1<\/a>).9<\/a><\/sup> <\/em>After<\/a> I escaped<\/a> the worldly corruption produced by evil desire by making every effort to keep the law, then I <\/em>may become [a partaker] <\/em>of the divine nature.10<\/a><\/sup> <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I searched the Bible for rules to obey, fully expecting to be perfected by the flesh<\/i> because Jesus would help me to have a righteousness of my own that comes from the law<\/i>.34<\/sup><\/a> In the beginning I couldn’t even imagine a righteousness of God<\/i>…apart from the law<\/i>.35<\/sup><\/a> \u201cI believed at the very core of my being that faith was opposed to reason as reason was opposed to faith.\u201d36<\/sup><\/a> And perhaps, more to the point, the core of my core beliefs was: reason, good; faith, bad. So, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all<\/a> who believe<\/i>37<\/sup><\/a> was not merely beyond my imagination, but even beyond the pale of my moral universe. A righteousness based on law seemed, all and all, more reasonable<\/i>. As Paul wrote, the law is not of faith<\/i>.38<\/sup><\/a> But Jesus continued to draw me to Himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since I was reading the Bible then, it is possible to outline some of the ways He drew me. Searching the Bible for rules to obey, it wasn’t long before I had tied up a heavy burden, hard to bear<\/i>. Yes, it was very reminiscent of Jesus’ description of the scribes and Pharisees<\/a> (Matthew 23:4 ESV).<\/span><\/p>\n

They tie up<\/a> heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people\u2019s shoulders, but they<\/a> themselves are not willing to move them with their finger [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And yes, I argued for a time that I was not a hypocrite<\/em> like those scribes and Pharisees because I was actually trying to lift the heavy burden that \u201cJesus gave me to bear.\u201d But <\/a>Jesus said (Luke 17:7-10 ESV):<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWill any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him<\/a> when he has come in from the field, \u2018Come at once and recline at table<\/a>\u2019? [Table<\/a>]<\/em> Will he not rather say to him, \u2018Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink\u2019? Does he thank the<\/a> servant because he did what was commanded<\/a>? [Table<\/a>]<\/em> So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, \u2018We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once my angry rant subsided and I paused to catch my breath, I could see that Jesus and I had different perspectives on my righteousness. I saw my righteousness as a high and lofty personal achievement worthy of praise. Yes, it took a while and a lot more Bible study and failure and frustration before I recognized that Jesus saw my righteousness as a baseline He gave willingly and freely if only I believe and receive Him. And yes, even knowing and believing that, I can still have moments of temporary insanity when I reject his grace! <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Jesus also prophesied about works of personal achievement, works that seemed far beyond my ability to achieve (Matthew 7:22, 23 ESV):<\/span><\/p>\n

On that day many will say to me, \u2018Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy<\/a> in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?\u2019 [Table<\/a>]<\/em> And then will I declare to them, \u2018I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesus did not dispute their achievements. And yes, it took some time for me to hear \u03bf\u1f50\u03b4\u1f73\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03b5<\/a> \u1f14\u03b3\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd<\/a> \u1f51\u03bc\u1fb6\u03c2<\/a> (ESV: I never knew you<\/i>) as Jesus’ intention to have spiritual intercourse<\/a> with me\u2014with all. (This intimate communion with God the Father, God the Son through God the indwelling Holy Spirit has become my favorite part of spending my days with Him studying the Bible to what ever depth of detail He will empower me to go.) Somewhat ironically perhaps and with a dazzling display of power and authority, He continued to draw me to Himself through the writings of Paul. <\/span><\/p>\n

I, too, delighted in the law of God, in my inner being<\/i>;39<\/sup><\/a> I<\/i> had the desire to do what is right, but not the ability<\/a> to carry it out<\/i>.40<\/sup><\/a> As I began to entertain the righteousness of God<\/i> as a plausible alternative to a righteousness of my own that comes from the law<\/i>, I assumed I had misunderstood Peter. Later, I assumed that \u201cPeter was not the writer, not the literary man or learned man, that Paul was.\u201d41<\/sup><\/a> Only recently have I begun to hear Peter’s writing as an illustration of the difference between being perfected by the flesh<\/i> and by hearing with faith<\/i>, as well as an explanation why he in a moment in time in Antioch was so easily led astray when certain men came from James<\/i>. To separate himself from Gentiles was an easy and obvious way to be perfected by the flesh<\/i> according to Jewish tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Paul continued: \u1f08\u03bb\u03bb\u1f75\u03bb\u03c9\u03bd<\/a> \u03c4\u1f70<\/a> \u03b2\u1f71\u03c1\u03b7<\/a> \u03b2\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u1f71\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>, one another\u2019s burdens <\/i>[you must] Bear<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

One another’s burdens you must bear<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greek verb \u03b2\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u1f71\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5<\/a> is an imperative form of \u03b2\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9<\/a> in the present tense and active voice: \u201cto take up (e.g., to lift up stones); to carry, bear (a physical object); to carry (anything burdensome); to bear, endure, tolerate; to bear, carry (a non-burden, e.g., scars); to carry away, remove (e.g., a corpse, one’s sandals, disease); to take surreptitiously, pilfer, steal.\u201d <\/a>But Paul didn’t issue this command on his own authority as an Apostle: \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> \u03bf\u1f55\u03c4\u03c9\u03c2<\/a> |\u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03c1\u1f7d\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>|, and so<\/i> [you will] fulfill<\/i>,42<\/sup><\/a> \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u03bd\u1f79\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd<\/a> \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a> \u03a7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a>, the law of Christ<\/i>.

Paul continued: \u03b5\u1f30<\/a> \u03b3\u1f70\u03c1<\/a> \u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03b5\u1fd6<\/a> \u03c4\u03b9\u03c2<\/a> \u03b5\u1f36\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, For if anyone thinks he is something<\/i>, \u03c4\u03b9<\/a> \u03bc\u03b7\u03b4\u1f72\u03bd<\/a> \u1f64\u03bd<\/a>, when he is nothing<\/i>, \u03c6\u03c1\u03b5\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03b1\u03c4\u1fb7<\/a> \u1f11\u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u1f79\u03bd<\/a>, he deceives himself<\/i>; \u03c4\u1f78<\/a> \u03b4\u1f72<\/a> \u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd<\/a> \u1f11\u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a> \u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03b9\u03bc\u03b1\u03b6\u1f73\u03c4\u03c9<\/a> |\u1f15\u03ba\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>|, But let each one test his own work<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>The verb \u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03b9\u03bc\u03b1\u03b6\u1f73\u03c4\u03c9<\/a> (test<\/i>) is an imperative form of \u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03b9\u03bc\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9<\/a> in the present tense and active voice. It is a command. The specific test seems obvious in this context: Have my works come to fruition by hearing with faith<\/i> or have I been tempted to be perfected by the flesh<\/i>? <\/a>Whatever the outcome to this mandatory test, Paul continued: \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> \u03c4\u1f79\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>, and then<\/i>, \u03b5\u1f30\u03c2<\/a> \u1f11\u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u03bc\u1f79\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, in himself alone<\/i>. It seems much more appropriate here to translate \u03b5\u1f30\u03c2<\/a> unto<\/i>, \u201cunto himself alone.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Greek continues: \u03c4\u1f78<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u1f7b\u03c7\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1<\/a> \u1f15\u03be\u03b5\u03b9<\/a>, reason to boast<\/i> \u201che will have,\u201d \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> \u03bf\u1f50\u03ba<\/a> \u03b5\u1f30\u03c2<\/a> \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u1f15\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, and not<\/i> [unto the] neighbor<\/i> (literally, \u201cthe other\u201d). The one who has worked by hearing with faith<\/i> praises God: \u201cunto himself alone he will have reason to boast and not unto the other.\u201d By doing so he does not provoke<\/i> the other to envy<\/i> with grace the other may not yet be ready to receive (Ephesians 3:14-21<\/a>). And even the one who is still deluded into believing that he is being perfected by the flesh<\/i>: if he praises himself \u201cunto himself alone…and not unto the other,\u201d does not provoke<\/i> the other to envy<\/i> under false pretenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul concluded: \u1f15\u03ba\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> \u03b3\u1f70\u03c1<\/a>, For each<\/i>, \u03c4\u1f78<\/a> \u1f34\u03b4\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd<\/a> \u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u03c4\u1f77\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, his own load<\/i>, \u03b2\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u1f71\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9<\/a>, will have to bear<\/i>. At any given moment we are stuck with who and what we are, our faith and unbelief, our reliance on Christ through his Holy Spirit and our predilections to do it ourselves or to go our own way. But Jesus continues<\/a> to draw us to Himself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And when those whose works are accomplished by hearing with faith<\/i> witness the heavy burden that those laboring to be perfected by the flesh<\/i> have tied up<\/em> for themselves, the former can’t help but want to share what God in Christ through the Holy Spirit has done for them, not boasting or provoking but in a spirit of gentleness<\/i>, sharing with others the love with which Jesus has loved them, so that all may hear: For our freedom<\/a> Christ has us set free; therefore you stand firm and cannot entangle yourselves in a yoke of slavery<\/a> again<\/i>.44<\/sup><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

24<\/sup><\/a> The Greek phrase \u03bf\u1f50 \u03bc\u1f74<\/a> \u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u1f73\u03c3\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5<\/a> (ESV: you will not gratify<\/i>) is a subjunctive of emphatic negation<\/a>: \u201cwhen these two Greek negative particles are combined in the form of \u03bf\u1f50 \u00b5\u1f75 (ou m\u0113) with reference to a future event, what results is an intensified form of the negative…when this combination is attached to an Aorist Subjunctive, what occurs is what has been termed the Subjunctive of Emphatic Negation. As was pointed out above, the Subjunctive Mood indicates the probability of an event, and the Aorist Tense emphasizes an action as simply occurring, without any specific reference to time, apart from the use of an adverbial modifier (e.g., that which would describe when, where, how much, or how often). Thus, when you have \u03bf\u1f50 \u00b5\u1f75 (ou m\u0113) in combination with the Aorist Subjunctive, what occurs is the absolute and unequivocal denial of the probability of an event EVER OCCURING at any moment or time in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
