[14:3]  1 tn Grk “edification.”

[12:31]  2 tn Grk “a still more excellent way.” In this context the phrase has an elative rather than a comparative sense, however.

[12:1]  3 tn Grk “spiritual things.”

[12:1]  4 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[12:1]  5 tn Grk “ignorant.”

[5:1]  6 tn Or “someone has married”; Grk “someone has,” but the verb ἔχω (ecw) is routinely used of marital relationships (cf. BDAG 420 s.v. 2.a), including sexual relationships. The exact nature of the relationship is uncertain in this case; it is not clear, for example, whether the man had actually married the woman or was merely cohabiting with her.
