[1:6]  ¹ tn Grk “since I am sure of this very thing.” The verse begins with an adverbial participle that is dependent on the main verb in v. 3 (“I thank”). Paul here gives one reason for his thankfulness.

[1:6]  ² tn The referent is clearly God from the overall context of the paragraph and the mention of “the day of Christ Jesus” at the end, which would be redundant if Christ were referred to here.

[1:6]  ³ tn Or “among.”

[1:6]  ⁴ tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text but has been supplied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[1:26]  ⁵ tn Grk “your boasting may overflow in Christ Jesus because of me,” or possibly, “your boasting in me may overflow in Christ Jesus.” BDAG 536 s.v. καύχημα 1 translates the phrase τὸ καύχημα ὑμῶν (to kauchma jJumwn) in Phil 1:26 as “what you can be proud of.”

[1:26]  ⁶ tn Grk “through my coming again to you.”

[3:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “according to the goal.”

[3:14]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “prize, namely, the heavenly calling of God.”

[4:19]  ¹³ tn Or “according to the riches of his glory.” The phrase “of his glory” is treated as an attributive genitive in the translation.
