[3:11]  ² tn Or “through” (διά, dia).

[3:11]  ³ tn Or “what is permanent.”

[6:8]  ⁴ tn Or “regarded as deceivers.”

[3:10]  ⁷ tn Grk “in this case.”

[3:10]  ⁸ tn The words “of what replaced it” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied to clarify the meaning.

[4:17]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “momentary lightness of affliction.”

[3:18]  ¹³ tn Or “we all with unveiled faces beholding the glory of the Lord as in a mirror.”

[3:18]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “from glory to glory.”

[3:18]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “just as from.”

[3:18]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “from the Lord, the Spirit”; the genitive πνεύματος (pneumato") has been translated as a genitive of apposition.

[4:4]  ¹⁶ tn Or “of unbelievers.”

[4:4]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “the gospel of the glory”; δόξης (doxhs) has been translated as an attributive genitive.

[4:4]  ¹⁸ tn Or “so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ would not be evident to them” (L&N 28.37).

[4:6]  ²¹ tc ‡ Most witnesses, including several early and important ones (Ì⁴⁶ א C H Ψ 0209 1739^c Ï sy), read ᾿Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ (Ihsou Cristou, “Jesus Christ”), while other important witnesses, especially of the Western text (D F G 0243 630 1739* 1881 lat Ambst), have Χριστοῦ ᾿Ιησοῦ. The reading with just Χριστοῦ is found in A B 33 {sa} Tert {Or Ath Chr}. Even though the witnesses for the shorter reading are not numerous, they are weighty. And in light of the natural scribal proclivity to fill out the text, particularly with reference to divine names, as well as the discrepancy among the witnesses as to the order of the names, the simple reading Χριστοῦ seems to be the best candidate for authenticity. NA²⁷ reads ᾿Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ with ᾿Ιησοῦ in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
