[1:54]  2 tn Or “his [God’s] loyal love.”

[1:55]  3 tn Grk “as he spoke.” Since this is a reference to the covenant to Abraham, ἐλάλησεν (elalhsen) can be translated in context “as he promised.” God keeps his word.

[1:55]  4 tn Grk “fathers.”

[1:55]  5 tn Grk “his seed” (an idiom for offspring or descendants).
