[1:26]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “through my coming again to you.”

[2:2]  ¹ tn Or “and feel the same way,” “and think the same thoughts.” The ἵνα (Jina) clause has been translated “and be of the same mind” to reflect its epexegetical force to the imperative “complete my joy.”

[2:2]  ² tn The Greek word here is σύμψυχοι (sumyucoi, literally “fellow souled”).

[2:7]  ¹ tn See the note on the word “slaves” in 1:1.

[2:7]  ² tn Grk “by coming in the likeness of people.”

[2:7]  ³ tn Grk “and by being found in form as a man.” The versification of vv. 7 and 8 (so also NRSV) is according to the versification in the NA²⁷ and UBS⁴ editions of the Greek text. Some translations, however, break the verses in front of this phrase (NKJV, NASB, NIV, NLT). The same material has been translated in each case; the only difference is the versification of that material.

[3:2]  ¹ sn Dogs is a figurative reference to false teachers whom Paul regards as just as filthy as dogs.

[3:2]  ² tn Grk “beware of the mutilation.”

[3:17]  ¹ tn Or “become fellow imitators with me [of Christ].”

[3:17]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.

[4:16]  ¹ map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1.

[4:16]  ² tn Or “several times”; Grk, “both once and twice.” The literal expression “once and twice” is frequently used as a Greek idiom referring to an indefinite low number, but more than once (“several times”); see L&N 60.70.
