4:1 So then, my brothers and sisters, ³  dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!

[29:14]  ¹ tn Both verbs in this first half-verse are from לָבַשׁ (lavash, “to clothe; to put on clothing”). P. Joüon changed the vowels to get a verb “it adorned me” instead of “it clothed me” (Bib 11 [1930]: 324). The figure of clothing is used for the character of the person: to wear righteousness is to be righteous.

[29:14]  ² tn The word מִשְׁפָּטִי (mishpati) is simply “my justice” or “my judgment.” It refers to the decisions he made in settling issues, how he dealt with other people justly.

[4:1]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.
