[2:11] 1 tn Grk “are all from one.”
[2:11] 2 tn Grk “for which reason.”
[2:11] 3 tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.
[6:18] 4 tn Grk “have taken refuge”; the basis of that refuge is implied in the preceding verse.
[13:9] 7 tn Grk “by diverse and strange teachings.”
[13:9] 8 tn Grk “foods,” referring to the meals associated with the OT sacrifices (see the contrast with the next verse; also 9:9-10; 10:1, 4, 11).
