a
All agree it should be "sons," of God, not "children." See note to {vi 26057}{/vi}.
b
Our being one in Christ Jesus follows in verse 28; but here in verse 26 it is not one in Christ, nor Abraham’s seed, that is being urged, but that the Galatian saints were God’s sons through faith in Christ Jesus.
