[16:29]  1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the jailer) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:29]  2 tn Or “and prostrated himself.”

[24:25]  3 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:25]  4 tn Or “speaking about.”

[24:25]  5 tn Grk “and self-control.” This 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.

[24:25]  6 sn See the note on Felix in 23:26.

[24:25]  7 tn Grk “becoming.” The participle γενόμενος (genomenos) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[24:25]  8 tn Or “when I find time.” BDAG 639 s.v. μεταλαμβάνω 2 has “καιρὸν μ. have an opportunity = find timeAc 24:25.”

[24:26]  9 tn Grk “he was hoping that money would be given to him by Paul.” To simplify the translation, the passive construction has been converted to an active one.

[24:26]  10 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:26]  11 tn “As often as possible” reflects the comparative form of the adjective πυκνός (puknos); see BDAG 897 s.v. πυκνός, which has “Neut. of the comp. πυκνότερον as adv. more often, more frequently and in an elative sense very often, quite frequently…also as often as possibleAc 24:26.”

[24:26]  12 tn On this term, which could mean “conferred with him,” see BDAG 705 s.v. ὁμιλέω.

[24:1]  13 sn Ananias was in office from a.d. 47-59.

[24:1]  14 tn The term refers to a professional advocate (BDAG 905 s.v. ῥήτωρ).

[24:1]  15 tn Grk “an attorney, a certain Tertullus.”

[24:1]  16 tn Grk “who” (plural). Because in English the relative pronoun “who” could be understood to refer only to the attorney Tertullus and not to the entire group, it has been replaced with the third person plural pronoun “they.” “And” has been supplied to provide the connection to the preceding clause.

[24:1]  17 tn BDAG 326 s.v. ἐμφανίζω 3 has “. τινὶ κατά τινος bring formal charges against someoneAc 24:1; 25:2.”

[28:5]  18 tn BDAG 737 s.v. οὖν 4 indicates the particle has an adversative sense here: “but, however.”

[28:5]  19 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:5]  20 tn Grk “shaking the creature off…he suffered no harm.” The participle ἀποτινάξας (apotinaxa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[66:2]  21 tn Heb “all these.” The phrase refers to the heavens and earth, mentioned in the previous verse.

[66:2]  22 tn Heb “and all these were.” Some prefer to emend וַיִּהְיוּ (vayyihyu, “and they were”) to וְלִי הָיוּ (vÿli hayu, “and to me they were”), i.e., “and they belong to me.”

[66:2]  23 tn Heb “and to this one I look” (KJV and NASB both similar).

[66:2]  24 tn Heb “to the humble and the lowly in spirit and the one who trembles at my words.”

[3:16]  25 tn Heb “my insides trembled.”

[3:16]  26 tn Heb “decay entered my bones.”

[3:16]  27 tc Heb “beneath me I shook, which….” The Hebrew term אֲשֶׁר (’asher) appears to be a relative pronoun, but a relative pronoun does not fit here. The translation assumes a reading אֲשֻׁרָי (’ashuray, “my steps”) as well as an emendation of the preceding verb to a third plural form.

[3:16]  28 tn The translation assumes that אָנוּחַ (’anuakh) is from the otherwise unattested verb נָוָח (navakh, “sigh”; see HALOT 680 s.v. II נוח; so also NEB). Most take this verb as נוּחַ (nuakh, “to rest”) and translate, “I wait patiently” (cf. NIV).

[3:16]  29 tn Heb “to come up toward.”

[2:12]  30 tn Grk “with fear and trembling.” The Greek words φόβος and τρόμος both imply fear in a negative sense (L&N 25.251 and 16.6 respectively) while the former can also refer to respect and awe for deity (L&N 53.59). Paul’s use of the terms in other contexts refers to “awe and reverence in the presence of God” (P. T. O’Brien, Philippians [NIGTC], 284; see discussion on 282-84). The translation “awe and reverence” was chosen to portray the attitude the believer should have toward God as they consider their behavior in light of God working through Jesus Christ (2:6-11) and in the believer’s life (2:13) to accomplish their salvation.
