tn Grk “became a participant of.”

tn Grk “to them”; the referent (the Jerusalem saints) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Grk “and not please ourselves.” NT Greek negatives used in contrast like this are often not absolute, but relative: “not so much one as the other.”

tn BDAG 276 s.v. ἑδραῖος suggests “firm, steadfast.”

tn BDAG 639 s.v. μετακινέω suggests “without shifting from the hope” here.

sn The phrase through the gospel is placed last in the sentence in Greek for emphasis. It has been moved forward for clarity.

tn Grk “and fellow members.”

tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

tn Grk “of our confession.”

10 tn Grk “the beginning of the confidence.”

11 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

12 tn Grk “of our confession.”

13 tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”

14 tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

15 tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”

16 tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”

17 tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

18 tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”

19 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

20 tn Grk “of our confession.”

21 tn Grk “his”; in the translation the referent (God) has been specified for clarity.

22 tc ‡ The reading adopted by the translation follows a few early mss and some versions (Ì13,46vid B vgms co Ambr). The majority of mss (א A C D Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 Ï lat sy) insert “all” (“in all his house”), apparently in anticipation of Heb 3:5 which quotes directly from Num 12:7. On balance, the omission better explains the rise of ὅλῳ ({olw, “all”) than vice versa. NA27 puts ὅλῳ in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
