¹ tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, and is thus translated “people.”

² tn Grk “by something greater”; the rest of the comparison (“than themselves”) is implied.

³ tn Grk “the oath for confirmation is an end of all dispute.”

⁴ tc Some important mss (א* C* P 0285^vid 33 1175 1739 pc lat) lack καί (kai), but because the omission conforms to the wording of Ps 118:6 (117:6 LXX), it is suspect.

⁵ sn A quotation from Ps 118:6.
