[1:9] 1 tn See the note on this phrase in the previous verse.
[3:15] 2 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.
[3:15] 3 tn Grk “I speak according to man,” referring to the illustration that follows.
[3:15] 4 tn The same Greek word, διαθήκη (diaqhkh), can mean either “covenant” or “will,” but in this context the former is preferred here because Paul is discussing in vv. 16-18 the Abrahamic covenant.
[3:15] 5 tn Or “has been put into effect.”
[4:1] 3 tn Grk “a small child.” The Greek term νήπιος (nhpios) refers to a young child, no longer a helpless infant but probably not more than three or four years old (L&N 9.43). The point in context, though, is that this child is too young to take any responsibility for the management of his assets.
