Thank you for your responses I also found that approbation fits more cleanly & logically with the context. Paul was being charged as a vacillating "time-server" who shifted back & forth in his position depending on the audience.

I was fascinated with the way Dr Fung in his work on Galatians explained the other position. Just wanted to see if anyone embraced it.

Thanks again

Grace & Peace

Redeemed
