I have second thought about Gal 4:27-30. It might have been in Marcion's Galatians because it fits 4:22-23 and Schmid did not say these verses were missing. If it is the case, then it looks to me the whole of Galatians in Ephrem's Peshitta was drawn out of Marcion's version. How to explain it? Cordi...

The deletion of Abraham save for one reference is reflected in statements in Tertullian Yes. I knew it and already wrote about in my previous posting: What is interesting, as Tertullian wrote for Marcion's Galatians , all previous passages mentioning Abraham, according to Schmid are deleted. They a...

I am not sure that "Jerusalem" existed in 4:24-26 in the text reported by Schmid. Actually, I do not think it did. What is interesting, as Tertullian wrote for Marcion's Galatians, all previous passages mentioning Abraham, according to Schmid are deleted. They are Gal 3:6-9, 3:14a, 3:15-18...

For 4:26, Van Manem follows Tertullian and probably also Schmid: 26 But [the] other generates above all powers ( power, lordship, and every name that is named not only in this eon, but also in that to come), which is [the] mother of us. Tertullian, "the other gendereth" (to liberty, being ...

Thanks Stephan. This is what Schmid meant for Gal 4:24 (I think, will consider corrections from you): "Which things are an allegory: for they are two covenants, the one from mount Sinai, for this is the synagogue of the Jews, according to the law, is bondage to this covenant, (which is Agar?).&...

1) The offending verses interrupt 11:30 as a direct transition to 12:1 Already addressed that: no comment from you. Just like I said nothing about it. And you think removing 11:32-33 does not cause an abrupt transition from potential boasting about Paul's weaknesses and then real boasting about vis...

Schmid is a class act. He is the authority on Marcion. According to Schmid, verse Gal 4:25 would be missing in Marcion's version. http://books.google.ca/books?id=hneUeDnsA_YC&pg=PA347&dq=schmid+%22Gal+4%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KY1-UueuDOr7iwL4w4C4Ag&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=schm...

Yes, I found, what I think, is Ephrem's Gal 4:25 on sheet 79, apparently a translation from Syriac to Greek, but the Greek wording is the same as in the canonical letter.

Hi Stephan,
I added on my previous post:

See also note 9.
Can anyone, and more so you Stephan, find out what Ephrem translated or commented on Galatians 4:21-27?

Cordially, Bernard

Here is a comment involving Ephrem, Marcion, Tertullian and Galatians: http://books.google.ca/books?id=YLrKmtlpEx8C&pg=PA521&lpg=PA521&dq=ephrem+marcion+galatians&source=bl&ots=a6NyeY3FKQ&sig=AeuQ-XCgDoGFOjnD00rw8PcEIZg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=w2h-UqmsF6WdiQL8moDoBw&red...
