[4:5]  ¹ tn Grk “time, until the Lord comes, who will bring to light.”

[4:5]  ² tn Or “praise.”

[6:13]  ¹ tn Grk “both this [stomach] and these [foods].”

[7:14]  ¹ tc Grk “the brother.” Later witnesses (א² D² Ï) have ἀνδρί (andri, “husband”) here, apparently in conscious emulation of the earlier mention of ἀνήρ (ajnhr) in the verse. However, the earliest and best witnesses (Ì⁴⁶ א* A B C D* F G P Ψ 33 1739 al co) are decisively in favor of ἀδελφῷ (adelfw, “brother”), a word that because of the close association with “wife” here may have seemed inappropriate to many scribes. It is also for reasons of English style that “her husband” is used in the translation.

[7:39]  ¹ tn The verb κοιμάω (koimaw) literally means “sleep,” but it is often used in the Bible as a euphemism for the death of a believer.

[10:13]  ¹ tn Grk “except a human one” or “except one common to humanity.”

[10:13]  ² tn Grk “God is faithful who.” The relative pronoun was changed to a personal pronoun in the translation for clarity.

[10:13]  ³ tn The words “to bear” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. They have been supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning.
