[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.

[9:5]  4 tn Grk “above it”; in the translation the referent (the ark) has been specified for clarity.

[9:5]  5 sn The cherubim (pl.) were an order of angels mentioned repeatedly in the OT but only here in the NT. They were associated with God’s presence, glory, and holiness. Their images that sat on top of the ark of the covenant are described in Exod 25:18-20.

[11:35]  7 tn Grk “received back their dead from resurrection.”

[11:35]  8 tn Grk “to obtain a better resurrection.”
