[2:2]  ¹ tn Or “based on truth.”

[2:26]  ² tn The Greek word φυλάσσω (fulassw, traditionally translated “keep”) in this context connotes preservation of and devotion to an object as well as obedience.

[10:1]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

Hanson, Studies in Paul’s Technique and Theology, 121-24, cites rabbinic use of the figure of the olive tree, and goes so far as to argue that Rom 11:17-24 is a midrash on Jer 11:16-19.
