Galatians 5:12
Abstract
Various metaphorical interpretations of Gal 5:12 were advanced in the patristic period, and continue, in part, to the present day. Modern commentators generally favor more literal interpretations, although few of them regard Gal 5:12 as significant for the development of the argument of Galatians. A review of the Mother Goddess cult in Roman Galatia, however, shows the relevance of the sarcastic imagery of 5:12 to the social setting of Galatians. In light of that relevance, the argument of Galatians is revisited, revealing that those who ascribe an essential role in salvation to circumcision are as mistaken and offensive as were emasculated priests in the Cybele cult.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
