[2:6]  ¹ tn Or “sensible.”

[3:11]  ² tn Grk “knowing” (as a continuation of the previous clause).

[3:11]  ³ tn Grk “is perverted and is sinning.”

[3:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “is sinning, being self-condemned.”

[2:2]  ³ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:2]  ⁴ sn Temperate…in endurance. See the same cluster of virtues in 1 Thess 1:3 and 1 Cor 13:13.

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “domestic,” “keeping house.”

[2:5]  ⁶ tn Or “word.”

[2:5]  ⁷ tn Or “slandered.”

[2:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “training us” (as a continuation of the previous clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 by translating the participle παιδεύουσα (paideuousa) as a finite verb and supplying the pronoun “it” as subject.

[2:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “ungodliness.”

[1:7]  ⁶ sn The overseer is another term for the same official position of leadership as the “elder.” This is seen in the interchange of the two terms in this passage and in Acts 20:17, 28, as well as in the parallels between these verses and 1 Tim 3:1-7.

[1:7]  ⁷ tn Grk “as God’s steward.”

[1:10]  ⁷ tc ‡ The earliest and best mss lack καί (kai) after πολλοί (polloi; so א A C P 088 81 104 365 614 629 630 al sy co), though the conjunction is found in several significant witnesses, chiefly of the Western and Byzantine texts (D F G I Ψ 33 1739 1881 Ï lat). Although it is possible that some scribes omitted the word, thinking it was superfluous, it is also possible that others added the conjunction for clarification. Judging by the pedigree of the witnesses and the inconclusiveness of the internal evidence, the shorter reading is considered to be most likely original. NA²⁷ puts the conjunction in brackets, indicating some doubts as to its authenticity.

[1:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “those of the circumcision.” Some translations take this to refer to Jewish converts to Christianity (cf. NAB “Jewish Christians”; TEV “converts from Judaism”; CEV “Jewish followers”) while others are less clear (cf. NLT “those who insist on circumcision for salvation”).
