Now you, brothers The phrase "Now you, brothers" serves as a direct address to the Galatian believers, emphasizing their inclusion in the family of God. The Greek word for "brothers" (ἀδελφοί, adelphoi) is often used in the New Testament to denote not just male siblings but a community of believers, both men and women, who share a spiritual kinship. This familial term underscores the unity and equality among believers, transcending ethnic and social boundaries, which is a central theme in Paul's letter to the Galatians. Historically, this reflects the early Christian community's radical departure from the rigid social hierarchies of the Greco-Roman world. like Isaac are children of promise Parallel Commentaries ...
