Acts 20:21

20:21 testifying ¹  to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus. ² 

Acts 14:9

Acts 17:31

17:31 because he has set ⁵  a day on which he is going to judge the world ⁶  in righteousness, by a man whom he designated, ⁷  having provided proof to everyone by raising ⁸  him from the dead.”

[20:21]  ¹ tn BDAG 233 s.v. διαμαρτύρομαι 1 has “testify of, bear witness to (orig. under oath)…of repentance to Judeans and Hellenes Ac 20:21.”

[20:21]  ² tc Several mss, including some of the more important ones (Ì⁷⁴ א Α C [D] E 33 36 323 945 1175 1241 1505 1739 pm and a number of versions), read Χριστόν (Criston, “Christ”) at the end of this verse. This word is lacking in B H L P Ψ 614 pm. Although the inclusion is supported by many earlier and better mss, internal evidence is on the side of the omission: In Acts, both “Lord Jesus” and “Lord Jesus Christ” occur, though between 16:31 and the end of the book “Lord Jesus Christ” appears only in 28:31, perhaps as a kind of climactic assertion. Thus, the shorter reading is to be preferred.

[14:9]  ³ tn Grk “speaking, who.” The relative pronoun has been replaced by the noun “Paul,” and a new sentence begun in the translation because an English relative clause would be very awkward here.

[14:9]  ⁴ tn Or “looked.”

[17:31]  ⁵ tn Or “fixed.”

[17:31]  ⁶ sn The world refers to the whole inhabited earth.

[17:31]  ⁷ tn Or “appointed.” BDAG 723 s.v. ὁρίζω 2.b has “of persons appoint, designate, declare: God judges the world ἐν ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὥρισεν through a man whom he has appointed Ac 17:31.”

[17:31]  ⁸ tn The participle ἀναστήσας (anasthsa") indicates means here.
