In Galatians 2:4, the aorist active infinitive occurs with false brothers who had secretly slipped in; the APB renders the clause "to spy out the freedom that we have in Christ Jesus," followed by their aim of bringing people into slavery.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Galatians 2:4, the APB presents the action as "to spy out" freedom. This rendering confirms the clause's setting rather than isolating every aspect of the Greek term.
