Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Galatians 2:8

He that wrought effectually [ο ε ν ε ρ γ η σ α ς]. See on 1 Thessalonians 2:13. Rev. omits effectually, but it is fairly implied in the verb. 48 Comp. 1 Corinthians 12:6; Philippians 2:13; Colossians 1:29. The reference is to God, not to Christ.

In Peter [π ε τ ρ ω]. Better, for Peter. In Peter would be ejn Petrw.

Unto the apostleship [ε ι ς]. Not merely with reference to the apostleship, but with the design of making him an apostle. Comp. 2 Corinthians 2:12; Colossians 1:29. Observe how Paul puts himself on an equality with Peter.

Unto the Gentiles [ε ι ς τ α ε θ ν η]. To make me an apostle to the Gentiles.
