[9:4]  ¹ tn Grk “the right to eat and drink.” In the context this is a figurative reference to financial support.

[11:33]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[8:13]  ³ tn Grk “my brother.” Both “my brother or sister” earlier in the verse and “one of them” here translate the same Greek phrase. Since the same expression occurs in the previous line, a pronoun phrase is substituted here to suit English style, which is less tolerant of such repetition.

[10:7]  ⁴ tn The term “play” may refer to idolatrous, sexual play here, although that is determined by the context rather than the meaning of the word itself (cf. BDAG 750 s.v. παίζω).
