# Even so
|
|
|
|
"Although if I wanted to." Paul is introducing a hypothetical situation that could not possibly exist. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
|
|
|
|
# I myself could have confidence in the flesh. If anyone thinks he has confidence in the flesh, I could have even more
|
|
|
|
This is a hypothetical situation that Paul does not believe is possible. Paul says if it were possible that God would save people based on what they did, then God would certainly have saved him. AT: "No one can do enough things to please God, but if anyone could do enough things to please God, I could do more good things and please God more than anyone" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
|
|
|
|
# I myself
|
|
|
|
Paul uses "myself" for emphasis. AT: "certainly I" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rpronouns]])
|
|
|
|
# I was circumcised
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "A priest circumcised me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|

|
# the eighth day
|
|
|
|
"seven days after I was born"
|
|
|
|
# a Hebrew of Hebrews
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) "a Hebrew son with Hebrew parents" or 2) "the purest Hebrew."
|
|
|
|
# with regard to the law, a Pharisee
|
|
|
|
"as a Pharisee, I was completely devoted to the law"
