[4:12]  ¹ map For location see JP1 D2; JP2 D2; JP3 D2; JP4 D2.

[4:10]  ² tn Grk “having loved.”

[4:10]  ³ map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1.

[2:20]  ³ tn Grk “a great house.”

[2:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “for dishonor,” probably referring to vessels used for refuse or excrement.

[2:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “from these,” alluding to the errors and deeds of the false teachers described in vv. 14-19.

[1:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “for which.”

[1:11]  ⁶ tc Most mss (א² C D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï latt sy co) have ἐθνῶν (eqnwn, “of the Gentiles”) after “teacher.” The shorter reading has poorer external credentials (א* A I 1175 pc), but is preferred because ἐθνῶν probably represents a gloss added by copyists familiar with 1 Tim 2:7. There is no easy explanation for the omission of the word if it were original here.

[3:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “always learning,” continuing the description of the women from v. 6. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “save me.”

[4:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “to whom.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:18]  ⁹ tn Grk “unto the ages of the ages,” an emphatic way of speaking about eternity in Greek.

[2:25]  ⁸ sn Correcting is the word for “child-training” or “discipline.” It is often positive (training, educating) but here denotes the negative side (correcting, disciplining).

[2:25]  ⁹ tn Grk “repentance unto knowledge of the truth.”

[2:26]  ⁹ tn Grk “having been captured by him.”

[2:26]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “for that one’s will,” referring to the devil, but with a different pronoun than in the previous phrase “by him.” Some have construed “for his will” with the earlier verb and referred the pronoun to God: “come to their senses and escape the devil’s trap (though they have been captured by him) in order to do His will.” In Classical Greek the shift in pronouns would suggest this, but in Koine Greek this change is not significant. The more natural sense is a reference to the devil’s will.

[3:6]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “For from these are those who sneak.”

[3:6]  ¹¹ tn Or “silly women.”

[4:11]  ¹¹ tn Grk “useful.”

[4:11]  ¹² tn Or “in serving me.”

[1:12]  ¹² tn Grk “suffer these things.”

[1:12]  ¹³ tn Or “in whom I have believed.”

[1:12]  ¹⁴ sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.

[1:12]  ¹⁵ sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
