[7:18]  ³ tn Grk “the setting aside of a former command comes to pass.”

[7:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “because of its weakness and uselessness.”

[7:20]  ⁵ sn The Greek text contains an elaborate comparison between v. 20a and v. 22, with a parenthesis (vv. 20b-21) in between; the comparison is literally, “by as much as…by so much” or “to the degree that…to that same degree.”

[7:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “they on the one hand” in contrast with “he on the other hand” in v. 24.

[1:7]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “He who makes.”

[1:7]  ¹⁹ sn A quotation from Ps 104:4.
