1 Plural Personal Pronouns in the Epistle of Paul to the Galatians

2 2 1 Paul, an apostle (not of men neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) 2 and all the brethren who are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: Chapter One

3 3 Revelation Chapter Two 1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

4 4 Revelation Chapter Two 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

5 5 Revelation Chapter Two 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

6 6 Chapter One 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father, Jesus “gave himself for our sins.” Does “our sins” refer to the sins of churches or to the sins of individuals? Jesus “gave himself for our sins.” Does “our sins” refer to the sins of churches or to the sins of individuals?

7 7 Chapter One 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father, Jesus “gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world.” Deliver “us congregations” or “us individuals”? Jesus “gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world.” Deliver “us congregations” or “us individuals”?

8 8 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel, Chapter One The “ye” who were “so soon removed” were the same as the “you” who had been “called…into the grace of Christ.” Were congregations or individuals “called…into the grace of Christ”? The “ye” who were “so soon removed” were the same as the “you” who had been “called…into the grace of Christ.” Were congregations or individuals “called…into the grace of Christ”?

9 9 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Chapter One How were the false teachers troubling the churches of Galatia? They were troubling the churches by teaching that individual male Christians had to submit to physical circumcision to be saved. How were the false teachers troubling the churches of Galatia? They were troubling the churches by teaching that individual male Christians had to submit to physical circumcision to be saved.

10 10 Chapter Six 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

11 11 Chapter Six 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

12 12 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Chapter One The gospel was preached to them as individuals, not as local churches. It was also received by them as individuals. The gospel was preached to them as individuals, not as local churches. It was also received by them as individuals.

13 13 Chapter One 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Here, Paul makes it clear that he is writing to the individual Christians who make up the churches.

14 14 Chapter Six 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. (Rom. 12:15)

15 15 Chapter Six 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. (1 Cor. 12:26)

16 16 Chapter Six 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. (1 Cor. 10:12)

17 17 Chapter Six 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

18 18 Chapter Six 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

19 19 Chapter Six 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
