[1:19]  1 tn Or “immeasurable, surpassing”

[1:19]  2 tn Or “for, to”

[1:19]  3 tn Grk “according to.”

[1:19]  4 tn Grk “according to the exercise of the might of his strength.”

[4:14]  5 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:14]  6 tn While the sense of the passage is clear enough, translation in English is somewhat difficult. The Greek says: “by the trickery of men, by craftiness with the scheme of deceit.” The point is that the author is concerned about Christians growing into maturity. He is fearful that certain kinds of very cunning people, who are skilled at deceitful scheming, should come in and teach false doctrines which would in turn stunt the growth of the believers.

[4:18]  9 tn In the Greek text this clause is actually subordinate to περιπατεῖ (peripatei) in v. 17. It was broken up in the English translation so as to avoid an unnecessarily long and cumbersome statement.
