[1:13]  ¹ tn Grk “binding up the loins of your mind,” a figure of speech drawn from the Middle Eastern practice of gathering up long robes around the waist to prepare for work or action.

[1:13]  ² tn Grk “having bound up…, being sober, set your hope…”

[1:13]  ³ tn Grk “at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (cf. v. 7).

[2:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “it contains,” “it stands.”

[2:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”

[2:6]  ⁶ tn Grk “the one who believes.”

[2:6]  ⁷ tn Grk either “in him” or “in it,” but the OT and NT uses personify the stone as the King, the Messiah whom God will establish in Jerusalem.

[2:6]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Isa 28:16.

[4:14]  ⁷ tc Many mss, some of them important and early ([א] A P 33 81 323 945 1241 1739 pm bo), add καὶ δυνάμεως (kai dunamew"; “and of power”) here. The shorter reading is supported by Ì⁷² B K L Ψ 049 pm). Although the evidence is evenly divided, the longer reading looks to be an explanatory or liturgical expansion on the text and for this reason should be considered secondary.

[4:14]  ⁸ tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

[4:14]  ⁹ sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.
