A.T. Robertson Commentary Galatians 1:10

"For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ." — Galatians 1:10 (ASV)

Am I persuading? (πειθω?). Conative present, trying to persuade like ζητω αρεσκειν (seeking to please) where the effort is stated plainly. See 2 Corinthians 5:11.

I should not be (ουκ αν ημην). Conclusion of second class condition, determined as unfulfilled. Regular construction here (ε and imperfect indicative in the condition ηρεσκον, ουκ αν and imperfect in the conclusion). About pleasing men see on 1 Thessalonians 2:4. In Col 3:22; Eph. 6:6 Paul uses the word "men-pleasers" (ανθρωπαρεσκο).
