1.2 KiB
testify
"declare" or "serve as a witness"
to every man who lets himself be circumcised
Paul is using circumcision as a metonym for being Jewish. AT: "to every person who has become a Jew" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
obligated
"bound" or "constrained" or "enslaved"
You are cut off from Christ
Here "cut off" is a metaphor for separation from Christ. AT: "You have ended your relationship with Christ" or "You are no longer united with Christ" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
you who would be justified by the law
Paul is speaking ironically here. He actually teaches that no one can be justified by trying to do the deeds required by the law. AT: "all you who think you can be justified by doing the deeds required by the law" or "you who want to be justified by the law" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony)
you no longer experience grace
Who that grace comes from can be stated clearly. AT: "God will not be gracious to you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
