it is written that the use of prepositions is important for the correct understanding of important and actual issues, in particular the issue of power, I am writing commentaries on the use of these prepositions. As a piece of advice on how to read the text, you can read the verse in translation and/or in the original (if you have the opportunity), and then the commentary on prepositions here. Next, you need to understand which part of the verse the commentary refers to, and consider what it affirms — or less often, denies — that is essential to understanding. This thoughtful reading helps to deepen understanding and protects against the mistakes mentioned above.

To the Saint Job of Manyava, Mark, Theophilus and John of Kyiv-Pechersk:
Galatians VI, 1 — ‘ἔν τινι παραπτώματι’ - ‘en tini paraptomati’ - ‘in some transgression’. ‘ἐν πνεύματι πραΰτητος’ - ‘en pneumati praytetos’ - ‘in a spirit of meekness; with a spirit of meekness’. There are different translations possible: the first one indicates that actions, words, and thoughts should be driven by the virtue and value of Christian meekness, and the second one indicates that grace itself, acting on the faithful person, often acts through them on others.
