[3:12] 1 tn Or “we employ great openness of speech.”
[10:11] 2 tn Grk “what we are in word.”
[11:13] 4 tn Or “workers, masquerading.”
[2:7] 4 tn Grk “so that on the other hand.”
[2:7] 5 tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text but is supplied. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted and must be supplied from the context.
[2:7] 6 tn Grk “comfort him, lest somehow such a person be swallowed up by excessive grief,” an idiom for a person being so overcome with grief as to despair or give up completely (L&N 25.285). In this context of excessive grief or regret for past sins, “overwhelmed” is a good translation since contemporary English idiom speaks of someone “overwhelmed by grief.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the difficulty of expressing a negative purpose/result clause in English, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
