⁷ tn Grk “think on” or “are intent on” (twice in this verse). What is in view here is not primarily preoccupation, however, but worldview. Translations like “set their mind on” could be misunderstood by the typical English reader to refer exclusively to preoccupation.

⁹ tn Grk “well!”, an adverb used to affirm a statement. It means “very well,” “you are correct.”

¹¹ tn Grk “grant you to think the same among one another.”
