[2:4] 1 tn Grk “being unaware.”
[7:18] 2 tn Grk “For to wish is present in/with me, but not to do it.”
[8:5] 3 tn Grk “think on” or “are intent on” (twice in this verse). What is in view here is not primarily preoccupation, however, but worldview. Translations like “set their mind on” could be misunderstood by the typical English reader to refer exclusively to preoccupation.
