¹ tn Grk “glory.”

² sn Weeping and gnashing of teeth is a figure for remorse and trauma, which occurs here because of exclusion from God’s promise.

³ tn Grk “And answering, he said to them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁴ tn This is an example of a “divine passive,” with God understood to be the source of the revelation (see ExSyn 437-38).

⁵ tn Grk “to you it has been given to know.” The dative pronoun occurs first, in emphatic position in the Greek text, although this position is awkward in contemporary English.

⁶ tn Grk “the mysteries.”

⁴ tn Grk “the ones who practice lawlessness.”

⁵ tn Or “all the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “nations” or “Gentiles”).
