Nehemiah 4:20

4:20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, gather there with us. Our God will fight for us!”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Labor is Beneficial When Its Rewards Are Shared

4:9 Two people are better than one,

because they can reap ¹  more benefit ²  from their labor.

4:10 For if they fall, one will help his companion up,

but pity ³  the person who falls down and has no one to help him up.

4:11 Furthermore, if two lie down together, they can keep each other warm,

but how can one person keep warm by himself?

4:12 Although an assailant may overpower ⁴  one person,

two can withstand him.

Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken.

Galatians 6:2

6:2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Philippians 1:27-28

1:27 Only conduct yourselves ⁵  in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that – whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent – I should hear that ⁶  you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel, ⁷  1:28 and by not being intimidated in any way by your opponents. This is ⁸  a sign of their ⁹  destruction, but of your salvation – a sign which ¹⁰  is from God.

[4:9]  ¹ tn Heb “they have.”

[4:9]  ² tn Heb “a good reward.”

[4:10]  ³ tn Heb “woe to him.”

[4:12]  ⁴ tn The verbal root תקף means “to overpower; to prevail over” e.g., Job 14:20; 15:24; Eccl 4:12; 6:10 (HALOT 1786 s.v. תקף).

[1:27]  ⁵ tn Grk “live as citizens.” The verb πολιτεύεσθε (politeuesqe) connotes the life of a freeman in a free Roman colony.

[1:27]  ⁶ tn Grk “the things concerning you, [namely,] that.” The ὅτι (Joti) clause is appositional to τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν (ta peri Jumwn) and therefore “the things concerning you” was not translated.

[1:27]  ⁷ tn The phrase “the faith of the gospel” could mean one of three things: “the faith that is the gospel” (genitive of apposition), “the faith that originates from the gospel” (genitive of source), or “faith in the gospel” (objective genitive).

[1:28]  ⁸ tn Grk “which is,” continuing the sentence begun in v. 27.

[1:28]  ⁹ tn Grk “to them.”

[1:28]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “this.” The pronoun refers back to “a sign”; thus these words have been repeated for clarity.
