# you Gentiles ... the household of God
Paul is again speaking of the spiritual condition of Gentiles after they become believers as he would speak about foreigners becoming citizens of a different nation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
Paul is using a metaphor to tell his Gentile readers that though God formerly did not consider them part of his people, God now considers them part of his people. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# foreigners and strangers ... fellow citizens ... and members of the household
The words "foreigners" and "strangers" mean almost the same thing, so "strangers and foreigners" may be a doublet. However, Paul is contrasting "foreigners and strangers" with "fellow citizens ... and members." The word "citizens" refers to having political rights, so here "foreigners" probably refers to people living in a country not their own and having no political rights. The word "members" refers to being part of a family, so "strangers" probably refers to people who are not part of a family. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])

This is a metaphor for disciples or followers. Alternate translation: "You who are disciples because of me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# I am in the pains of childbirth for you until Christ is formed in you
# I am suffering the pains of childbirth for you until Christ is formed in you
Paul uses childbirth as a metaphor for his concern about the Galatians. Alternate translation: "I am in pain as though I were a woman having to give birth to you, and I will continue to be in pain until Christ truly controls you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
