Galatians Chapter 2, Verse 8
From BibleWiki
8: ο γαρ ενεργησας πετρω εις αποστολην της περιτομης ενηργησεν και εμοι εις τα εθνη
8: (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship
of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
8: (For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision
wrought in me also among the Gentiles.)
For he that wrought effectually in Peter, etc. Or by the means or agency of Peter. The argument here is, that the same effects had been produced under the ministry of Paul among the Gentiles, which had been under the preaching of Peter among the Jews. It is inferred, therefore, that God had called both to the apostolic office. See this argument illustrated See "Acts 11:17".
The same was mighty in me, etc. In enabling me to work miracles, and in the success which attended the ministry.
- "effectually in Peter" "By"
- "mighty in me" "Wrought powerfully by me"
- "toward the Gentiles" "in the conversion of the Gentiles"
