[1:13]  ¹ tn Or “pattern.”

[1:13]  ² tn Grk “in faith and love in Christ Jesus.”

[1:17]  ³ map For location see JP4 A1.

[2:7]  ⁵ tn The Greek word here usually means “for,” but is used in this verse for a milder continuation of thought.

[2:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “in all things.”

[2:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “died together…will live together…will reign together,” without “him” stated explicitly. But “him” is implied by the parallel ideas in Rom 6:8; 8:17 and by the reference to Christ in vv. 12b-13.

[2:12]  ⁸ tn Or “renounce,” “disown,” “repudiate.” It is important to note that the object of Christ’s denial is “us.” The text does not contain an implied object complement (“he will deny us [x]”), which would mean that Christ was withholding something from us (for example, “The owner denied his pets water”), since the verb ἀρνέομαι (arneomai) is not one of the category of verbs that normally occurs in these constructions (see ExSyn 182-89).

[2:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “if we renounce,” but the “him” is implied by the parallel clauses.

[3:5]  ⁹ tn Or “form.”

[3:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and avoid these,” with the word “people” implied.

[4:4]  ¹¹ sn These myths were legendary tales characteristic of the false teachers in Ephesus and Crete. See parallels in 1 Tim 1:4; 4:7; and Titus 1:14.

[4:5]  ¹³ tn Or “sober,” “temperate.”
