NET Notes

1 tn Grk “read it.” The translation “read aloud” is used to indicate the actual practice of public reading; translating as “read” could be misunderstood to mean private, silent, or individual reading.

2 tn Grk “they”; the referent (the people) is specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Or “at its encouraging message.”
