An updated and extended analysis of the quark-mass dependence of the nucleon's axial-vector coupling constant g{sub A} is presented in comparison with state-of-the-art lattice QCD results. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the {delta}(1232) isobar. It is pointed out that standard chiral perturbation theory of the pion-nucleon system at order p{sup 4} fails to provide an interpolation between the lattice data and the physical point. In constrast, a version of chiral effective field theory with explicit inclusion of the {delta}(1232) proves to be successful. Detailed error analysis and convergence tests are performed. Integrating out the {delta}(1232) as an explicit degree of freedom introduces uncontrolled errors for pion masses m{sub {pi}} > or approx. 300 MeV.
