[6:30] 2 tn Grk “your things,” sometimes translated “what is yours” or “what belongs to you.”
[6:30] 3 sn Do not ask for your possessions back… is an example of showing forgiveness. Paul’s remarks in 1 Cor 6:7 may reflect this principle.

[15:31] 5 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the father) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
