¹ tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn Grk “had magnified his mercy with her.”

³ tn The verb συνέχαιρον (sunecairon) is an imperfect and could be translated as an ingressive force, “they began to rejoice.”

⁴ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

⁵ tn The participle and two adjectives “alive, holy, and pleasing to God” are taken as predicates in relation to “sacrifice,” making the exhortation more emphatic. See ExSyn 618-19.
