[4:16] 1 tn Grk “for timely help.”
[5:1] 1 tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”
[5:1] 2 tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”
[5:1] 3 tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”
[11:11] 1 tn Grk “past the time of maturity.”
[11:11] 2 tn Grk “power to deposit seed.” Though it is not as likely, some construe this phrase to mean “power to conceive seed,” making the whole verse about Sarah: “by faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and too old, she received ability to conceive, because she regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.”
[11:35] 1 tn Grk “received back their dead from resurrection.”
