[1:2]  1 tn Or “mention you in our prayers, because we recall constantly…”

[1:3]  2 tn Grk “making mention…recalling.” The participle ποιούμενοι (poioumenoi) in v. 2 has been translated as temporal, and μνημονεύοντες (mnhmoneuonte") in v. 3 has been translated as causal.

[1:3]  3 tn Or the phrase may connect at the end of the verse: “hope…in the presence of our God and Father.”

[1:3]  4 tn These phrases denote Christian virtues in action: the work produced by faith, labor motivated by love, and endurance that stems from hope in Christ.

[1:8]  5 tn Grk “First.” Paul never mentions a second point, so J. B. Phillips translated “I must begin by telling you….”

[1:9]  6 tn Grk “whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel.”

[1:9]  7 tn Grk “as.”
