[3:7]  ¹ tn Or “for this reason.”

[3:7]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:4.

[2:16]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Or “at last.”

[3:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “what thanks can we render to God about you.”

[3:9]  ⁸ tn Grk “all the joy with which we rejoice.”
