2:11 For indeed he who makes holy and those being made holy all have the same origin, ¹  and so ²  he is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, ³

Jeremiah 1:5

1:5 “Before I formed you in your mother’s womb ⁵  I chose you. ⁶ 

Before you were born I set you apart.

I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”

John 10:36

10:36 do you say about the one whom the Father set apart ⁷  and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

17:19 And I set myself apart ⁸  on their behalf, ⁹  so that they too may be truly set apart. ¹⁰ 

John 17:1

Jesus Prays for the Father to Glorify Him

17:1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward ¹¹  to heaven ¹²  and said, “Father, the time ¹³  has come. Glorify your Son, so that your ¹⁴  Son may glorify you –

Colossians 1:27

1:27 God wanted to make known to them the glorious ¹⁵  riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Colossians 1:29

1:29 Toward this goal ¹⁶  I also labor, struggling according to his power that powerfully ¹⁷  works in me.

¹ tn Grk “are all from one.”

² tn Grk “for which reason.”

³ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.

⁴ tn Grk “for the purifying of the flesh.” The “flesh” here is symbolic of outward or ritual purity in contrast to inner purity, that of the conscience (cf. Heb 9:9).

⁵ tn Heb “the womb.” The words “your mother’s” are implicit and are supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Heb “I knew you.” The parallelism here with “set you apart” and “appointed you” make clear that Jeremiah is speaking of his foreordination to be a prophet. For this same nuance of the Hebrew verb see Gen 18:19; Amos 3:2.

⁷ tn Or “dedicated.”

⁸ tn Or “I sanctify.”

⁹ tn Or “for their sake.”

¹⁰ tn Or “they may be truly consecrated,” or “they may be truly sanctified.”

¹¹ tn Grk “he raised his eyes” (an idiom).

¹² tn Or “to the sky.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context.

¹³ tn Grk “the hour.”

¹⁴ tc The better witnesses (א B C* W 0109 0301) have “the Son” (ὁ υἱός, Jo Juios) here, while the majority (C³ L Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï) read “your Son also” (καὶ ὁ υἱὸς σου, kai Jo Juio" sou), or “your Son” (ὁ υἱὸς σου; A D Θ 0250 1 579 pc lat sy); the second corrector of C has καὶ ὁ υἱός (“the Son also”). The longer readings appear to be predictable scribal expansions and as such should be considered secondary.

¹⁵ tn The genitive noun τῆς δόξης (ths doxhs) is an attributive genitive and has therefore been translated as “glorious riches.”

¹⁶ tn The Greek phrase εἴς ὅ (eis Jo, “toward which”) implies “movement toward a goal” and has been rendered by the English phrase “Toward this goal.”

¹⁷ tn The prepositional phrase ἐν δυνάμει (en dunamei) seems to be functioning adverbially, related to the participle, and has therefore been translated “powerfully.”
