Acta Theologica, 34, 130-142.1015-8758 (print)2309-9089 (online)http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/actat.v33i2S.7http://hdl.handle.net/11660/4768English: In the Letter of Paul to the Galatian churches the concepts “freedom,” “love,” “Spirit” and “flesh” are important: the semantic dimension of the letter and the theology of the letter strongly depend on these key concepts. Simultaneously, there is a complex relation and interaction between the four concepts. Hence an analysis of the above terms in Galatians 5:13 can contribute to the understanding of the letter. To achieve such understanding, the textual context and the structure of the text are discussed in order to establish a summarising exegesis of 5:1-24, with the focus on an analysis of these terms. This summarising exegesis then forms the basis for a reflection on the relation between “freedom,” “love,” “Spirit” and “flesh” in 5:13.enGalatians 5:13Letter of Paul to the GalatiansFreedomLoveFleshSpiritArticleFaculty of Theology, University of the Free State
