PARAGRAPHS
Refer to Chart 77, page 302, and note that
Galatians is here divided into eight
segments, including the introduction and
conclusion. Each segment is a group of
paragraphs. Because Galatians has only six
chapters, we will begin this phase of survey
with the paragraph units. The aim here is to
identify the main subject of each paragraph
without tarrying over any details.
Refer to Chart 76 and note the set of
paragraph divisions (i.e., chapter-verse
reference). Mark those divisions in your
Bible. Then read each paragraph, and assign
a paragraph title.8
D. IDENTIFYING GROUPS OF SEGMENTS
AND PARAGRAPHS
Now read your entire group of paragraph
titles. Could any of those be grouped
together under a common subject? You may

paragraph titles. Do not hesitate to glance
back at the Bible text for clues to groups.
Think next in terms of segments. Do you
see any ways to group segments according
to common subject?
What part of the epistle is mostly
practical?
What part is mostly doctrinal?
What part is mostly autobiographical?

2. A new division is made at 5:2 in order
to show 5:1, with its theme of liberty, as a
concluding verse to the previous section
about liberty (e.g., note the word free in
4:26, 30-31).
3. The rst ten verses of the letter are
seen here as the introduction. Some versions
and commentaries consider only 1:1-5 or
1:1-9 as the introduction. What are the
functions of the paragraph 1:6-10?
4. The conclusion of the epistle is
identi ed as 6:11-18. If it were not for verse
11, can you see why only 6:17-18 might be
