[2:16]  ¹ tn Grk “to fill up their sins always.”

[2:16]  ² tc The Western text (D F G latt) adds τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) to ὀργή (orgh) to read “the wrath of God,” in emulation of the normal Pauline idiom (cf., e.g., Rom 1:18; Eph 5:6; Col 3:6) and, most likely, to clarify which wrath is in view (since ὀργή is articular).

[2:16]  ³ tn Or “at last.”

[3:10]  ¹ tn Grk “to see your face.”
