[10:28]  ¹ tn Grk “And I give.”

[10:28]  ² tn Or “will never die” or “will never be lost.”

[10:28]  ³ tn Or “no one will seize.”

[10:29]  ⁴ tn Or “is superior to all.”

[10:29]  ⁵ tn Or “no one can seize.”

[10:30]  ⁶ tn Grk “I and the Father.” The order has been reversed to reflect English style.

[10:30]  ⁷ tn The phrase ἕν ἐσμεν ({en esmen) is a significant assertion with trinitarian implications. ἕν is neuter, not masculine, so the assertion is not that Jesus and the Father are one person, but one “thing.” Identity of the two persons is not what is asserted, but essential unity (unity of essence).

[7:1]  ⁸ sn A series of quotations from Gen 14:17-19.

[1:5]  ⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “I have begotten you.”

[1:5]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And again,” quoting another OT passage.

[1:5]  ¹² tn The words “he says” are not in the Greek text but are supplied to make a complete English sentence. In the Greek text this is a continuation of the previous sentence, but English does not normally employ such long and complex sentences.

[1:5]  ¹³ tn Grk “I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me.”

[1:24]  ¹⁴ tn The construction in Greek is a double accusative object-complement. “You” is the object and “free from falling” is the adjectival complement.

[1:24]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “with rejoicing.” The prepositional clause is placed after “his glorious presence” in Greek, but most likely goes with “cause you to stand.”

[1:24]  ¹⁶ tn The construction in Greek is a double accusative object-complement. “You” is the object and “without blemish” is the adjectival complement.

[1:24]  ¹⁷ tn Or “in the presence of his glory,” “before his glory.”
