# Galatians 5 General Notes
|
|
|
|
### Structure and formatting
|
|
|
|
Paul continues writing about the law of Moses as if it were something that traps or enslaves a person. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]])
|
|
|
|
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
|
|
|
#### Fruit of the Spirit
|
|
The phrase "the fruit of the Spirit" is not plural, even though it begins a list of several things. Translators should keep the singular form if possible. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/fruit]])
|
|
|
|
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
|
|
|
#### Illustrations
|
|
Paul uses several metaphors in this chapter to illustrate his points and help explain complicated issues. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
|
|
|
#### "You are cut off from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you no longer experience grace."
|
|
Some scholars think Paul teaches that being circumcised causes a person to lose their salvation. Other scholars think Paul means that obeying the law to try to get right with God will keep a person from being saved by grace. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/grace]])
