[11:6]  1 tn Grk “has come to me from the road.”

[11:6]  2 sn The background to the statement I have nothing to set before him is that in ancient Middle Eastern culture it was a matter of cultural honor to be a good host to visitors.

[21:16]  3 sn To confess Christ might well mean rejection by one’s own family, even by parents.

[21:16]  4 tn Grk “and brothers and relatives,” but καί (kai) has not been translated twice here since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
