NET Notes

tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

tn Grk “a day of opportunity”; cf. BDAG 407 s.v. εὔκαιρος, “in our lit. only pert. to time than is considered a favorable occasion for some event or circumstance, well-timed, suitable.”
