Galatians 6:11-16

Autograph postscript. Large letters need not be literally meant in late Greek; but what else can the word mean here? How large a letter (AV) is not a legitimate translation. Probably the reason is bad sight (cf. Galatians 4:15), possibly desire for emphasis; as we print in italics or capitals. A very unfavourable estimate of the moral character of the Judaizers is added. They are not really in earnest in their campaign. They are far from being strict Jews personally, but they pride themselves on making proselytes. The true Christian glories in no flattering successes only in that cross of Christ which brings our old life to a close and separates us for ever from the world. Those thus crucified with Christ and new-created in His resurrection are God's true Israel (cf. Psalms 73:1) whether they be Jew or Gentile.
