[1:14]  1 sn Jesus’ brothers are mentioned in Matt 13:55 and John 7:3.

[15:23]  2 tn Grk “writing by their hand” (an idiom for sending a letter).

[15:23]  3 tn Grk “The apostles.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

[15:23]  4 tn Grk “brothers,” but “your” is supplied to specify the relationship, since without it “brothers” could be understood as vocative in English.

[15:23]  5 tn Grk “to the brothers who are from the Gentiles.”

[15:23]  6 sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).

[15:23]  7 tn Grk “and Syria,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
