[13:22]  1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[13:22]  2 tn Grk “the deceitfulness of riches.” Cf. BDAG 99 s.v. ἀπάτη 1, “the seduction which comes from wealth.”

[13:22]  3 sn That is, their concern for spiritual things is crowded out by material things.

[24:38]  4 tn Grk “they,” but in an indefinite sense, “people.”

[24:39]  5 sn Like the flood that came and took them all away, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.

[24:39]  6 tn Grk “So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.”

[14:18]  7 tn Or “all unanimously” (BDAG 107 s.v. ἀπό 6). "One after another" is suggested by L&N 61.2.

[14:18]  8 sn To make excuses and cancel at this point was an insult in the culture of the time. Regardless of customs concerning responses to invitations, refusal at this point was rude.

[14:18]  9 sn I have bought a field. An examination of newly bought land was a common practice. It was this person’s priority.

[14:18]  10 sn The expression Please excuse me is probably a polite way of refusing, given the dynamics of the situation, although it is important to note that an initial acceptance had probably been indicated and it was now a bit late for a refusal. The semantic equivalent of the phrase may well be “please accept my apologies.”

[14:19]  11 tn Grk “And another.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[14:19]  12 sn Five yoke of oxen. This was a wealthy man, because the normal farmer had one or two yoke of oxen.

[14:19]  13 tn The translation “going out” for πορεύομαι (poreuomai) is used because “going” in this context could be understood to mean “I am about to” rather than the correct nuance, “I am on my way to.”

[14:20]  14 tn Grk “And another.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[14:20]  15 sn I just got married, and I cannot come. There is no request to be excused here; just a refusal. Why this disqualifies attendance is not clear. The OT freed a newly married man from certain responsibilities such as serving in the army (Deut 20:7; 24:5), but that would hardly apply to a banquet. The invitation is not respected in any of the three cases.

[17:26]  16 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:26]  17 tn Or “as it happened.”

[17:26]  18 sn Like the days of Noah, the time of the flood in Gen 6:5-8:22, the judgment will come as a surprise as people live their day to day lives.

[17:27]  19 tn Grk “They.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

[17:27]  20 tn These verbs (“eating… drinking… marrying… being given in marriage”) are all progressive imperfects, describing action in progress at that time.

[17:27]  21 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:27]  22 sn Like that flood came and destroyed them all, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.

[17:28]  23 tn Or “as it happened.”

[17:28]  24 tn Grk “they.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

[17:29]  25 sn And destroyed them all. The coming of the Son of Man will be like the judgment on Sodom, one of the most immoral places of the OT (Gen 19:16-17; Deut 32:32-33; Isa 1:10).

[17:31]  26 sn Most of the roofs in the NT were flat roofs made of pounded dirt, sometimes mixed with lime or stones, supported by heavy wooden beams. They generally had an easy means of access, either a sturdy wooden ladder or stone stairway, sometimes on the outside of the house.

[17:31]  27 sn The swiftness and devastation of the judgment will require a swift escape. There is no time to come down from one’s roof and pick up anything from inside one’s home.

[17:32]  28 sn An allusion to Gen 19:26. The warning about Lot’s wife is not to look back and long to be where one used to be. The world is being judged, and the person who delays or turns back will be destroyed.

[8:6]  29 tn Or “mindset,” “way of thinking” (twice in this verse and once in v. 7). The Greek term φρόνημα does not refer to one’s mind, but to one’s outlook or mindset.

[8:1]  30 tc The earliest and best witnesses of the Alexandrian and Western texts, as well as a few others (א* B D* F G 6 1506 1739 1881 pc co), have no additional words for v. 1. Later scribes (A D1 Ψ 81 365 629 pc vg) added the words μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν (mh kata sarka peripatousin, “who do not walk according to the flesh”), while even later ones (א2 D2 33vid Ï) added ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα (alla kata pneuma, “but [who do walk] according to the Spirit”). Both the external evidence and the internal evidence are compelling for the shortest reading. The scribes were evidently motivated to add such qualifications (interpolated from v. 4) to insulate Paul’s gospel from charges that it was characterized too much by grace. The KJV follows the longest reading found in Ï.

[6:9]  31 tn Grk “knowing.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[6:9]  32 tn The present tense here has been translated as a futuristic present (see ExSyn 536, where this verse is listed as an example).

[3:4]  33 tn Grk “every man”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here to stress humanity rather than masculinity.

[3:4]  34 tn Grk “Let God be true, and every man a liar.” The words “proven” and “shown up” are supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning.

[3:4]  35 tn Grk “might be justified,” a subjunctive verb, but in this type of clause it carries the same sense as the future indicative verb in the latter part. “Will” is more idiomatic in contemporary English.

[3:4]  36 tn Or “prevail when you judge.” A quotation from Ps 51:4.

[2:15]  37 tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:15]  38 tn Grk “show the work of the law [to be] written,” with the words in brackets implied by the Greek construction.

[2:15]  39 tn Or “excuse.”

[2:15]  40 tn Grk “their conscience bearing witness and between the thoughts accusing or also defending one another.”

[2:16]  41 tn The form of the Greek word is either present or future, but it is best to translate in future because of the context of future judgment.

[2:16]  42 tn Grk “of people.”

[2:16]  43 sn On my gospel cf. Rom 16:25; 2 Tim 2:8.
