Galatians 3:1

ανόητος (G453) глупый, неразумный. Используется для описания действий, которым недостает мудрости (Eadie). Павел упрекает их не в недостатке ума, а в неспособности или нежелании понять ситуацию (Matera; Betz).
έβάσκανεν aor. ind. act. от βασκαίνω moot) заколдовывать, очаровывать магически, пытаться причинить вред человеку, навлекая на него порчу или заклинаниями (Lightfoot; Betz; TDNT; MM; NW 2, ii:537-38). Один из писателей древности утверждает, что от порчи можно уберечься, трижды сплюнув (BAGD; о других магических текстах см. GMP). Их повеление стало таким странным, что казалось, кто-л. их заколдовал (Bruce),
προεγράφη aor. ind. pass. от προγράφω (G4270) писать заранее, писать публично. Это слово обозначает все публичные оповещения и указывает на объявление о подлинности конкретного факта или условия (Lightfoot; Ridderbos; TDNT).
εσταυρωμένος perf. pass.part, от σταυρόω (G4717) распинать. Отсутствие артикля указывает на качество: "распятый". О распятии в древнем мире см. С; TDNT.
