[4:12]  ² tn Grk “death is at work in us, but life in you”; the phrase “is at work in” is repeated in the translation for clarity.

[6:5]  ³ tn Or “rebellions” (uprisings in open defiance of civil authority).

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Usually κόποις (kopois) has been translated as “labors” or “hard work,” but see Matt 26:10 where it means “trouble”; “distress” (L&N 22.7). In this context with so many other terms denoting suffering and difficulty, such a meaning is preferable.

[11:26]  ⁶ tn Or “desert.”
