to experience, to suffer to undergo an experience, usually difficult, and normally with the implication of physical or psychological suffering The first statement in GAL 3:4 is generally interpreted as referring to the valuable experiences which the Galatians had in receiving the Spirit on the basis of hearing and believing.
