[3:7]  ¹ tn Grk “know.”

[3:7]  ² tn The phrase “sons of Abraham” is used here in a figurative sense to describe people who are connected to a personality, Abraham, by close nonmaterial ties. It is this personality that has defined the relationship and its characteristics (BDAG 1024-25 s.v. υἱός 2.c.α).

[3:29]  ³ tn Grk “seed.” See the note on the first occurrence of the word “descendant” in 3:16.

[2:21]  ⁶ tn Or “justification.”

[5:11]  ¹⁰ tn Or “nullified.”
