¹ tn Grk “to which,” referring to the main idea of v. 13.

² sn That you may possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. For Paul the ultimate stage of salvation is glorification (Rom 8:30).

³ tn Grk “vessels.” This is the same Greek word used in v. 21.

⁴ tn Grk “according to the goal.”

⁵ tn Grk “prize, namely, the heavenly calling of God.”

⁶ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.

⁷ tn Grk “with fear and trembling.” The Greek words φόβος and τρόμος both imply fear in a negative sense (L&N 25.251 and 16.6 respectively) while the former can also refer to respect and awe for deity (L&N 53.59). Paul’s use of the terms in other contexts refers to “awe and reverence in the presence of God” (P. T. O’Brien, Philippians [NIGTC], 284; see discussion on 282-84). The translation “awe and reverence” was chosen to portray the attitude the believer should have toward God as they consider their behavior in light of God working through Jesus Christ (2:6-11) and in the believer’s life (2:13) to accomplish their salvation.

⁸ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

⁹ tn Grk “of our confession.”

¹⁰ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

¹² tn Grk “having been designated,” continuing the thought of Heb 5:9.

¹³ sn The phrase in the order of Melchizedek picks up the quotation from Ps 110:4 in Heb 5:6.
