Judaism: The religious system that was prevalent among the Jewish people in Paul’s day. In the Christian Greek Scriptures, this word occurs only at Ga 1:13, 14. While adherents claimed to follow the Hebrew Scriptures closely, first-century Judaism focused great attention on “the traditions of [the] fathers.” (See study note on Ga 1:14.) Jesus denounced the traditions and the men who made God’s Word invalid.—Mr 7:8, 13.
intensely: Paul here uses the Greek word hy·per·bo·leʹ to describe how “intensely” (lit., “to the point of excess,” that is, to an extraordinary or extreme degree) he used to persecute the Christian congregation. (Ac 8:1, 3; 9:1, 2; 26:10, 11; Php 3:6) This Greek word occurs eight times in the Christian Greek Scriptures.—See study notes on 2Co 4:7; 12:7 and Glossary, “Hyperbole.”
