¹ tn Grk “they have a zeal for God.”

² tn Grk “in accord with knowledge.”

³ tn The adverbial participle ἀκούσαντες (akousante") is understood to be temporal and translated with “since.” A causal idea may also be in the apostle’s mind, but the context emphasizes temporal ideas, e.g., “from the day” (v. 6).
