1 tn Grk “For the…” (with the word “commandments” supplied for clarity). The Greek article (“the”) is used here as a substantiver to introduce the commands that are quoted from the second half of the Decalogue (ExSyn 238). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Rom 15:16) |
1 tn Grk “serving.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text, but in keeping with contemporary English style, a new sentence was started here in the translation. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Rom 15:33) |
1 tc Some |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 1:13) |
1 tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “was he?”). |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 2:1) |
1 tn Grk “and I, when I came.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, κἀγώ (kagw) has not been translated here. |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 3:16) |
1 sn You are God’s temple refers here to the church, since the pronoun you is plural in the Greek text. (In Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">6:19 the same imagery is used in a different context to refer to the individual believer.) |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 7:20) |
1 tn Grk “in the calling.” “Calling” in Paul is God’s work of drawing people to faith in Christ. As in Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">1:26, calling here stands by metonymy for a person’s circumstances when he becomes a Christian. |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 7:28) |
2 tn Grk “I am trying to spare you.” Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context. “Such problems” has been supplied here to make the sense of the statement clear. |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 8:10) |
1 tn Or “built up”; This is the same word used in v. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">1b. It is used ironically here: The weak person is “built up” to commit what he regards as sin. |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 10:7) |
1 tn The term “play” may refer to idolatrous, sexual play here, although that is determined by the context rather than the meaning of the word itself (cf. BDAG 750 s.v. παίζω). |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 15:8) |
1 sn One born at the wrong time. The Greek word used here (ἔκτρωμα, ektrwma) refers to a premature birth, a miscarriage, or an aborted child. Paul uses it as a powerful figure of the unexpected, abnormal nature of his apostolic call. |
| (0.13636015625) | (1Co 15:24) |
1 tn This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. |
| (0.13636015625) | (2Co 5:11) |
3 tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is generic here since clearly both men and women are in view (Paul did not attempt to win only men to the gospel he preached). |
| (0.13636015625) | (2Co 6:15) |
1 sn The Greek term Βελιάρ (Beliar) is a spelling variant for Βελιάλ (Belial, see Judg 20:13 LXX). It occurs only here in the NT. Beliar is a reference to Satan. |
| (0.13636015625) | (2Co 9:2) |
2 tn Grk “concerning which I keep boasting to the Macedonians about you.” A new sentence was started here and the translation was simplified by removing the relative clause and repeating the antecedent “this eagerness of yours.” |
| (0.13636015625) | (2Co 12:7) |
3 tn The phrase “so that I might not become arrogant” is repeated here because it occurs in the Greek text two times in the verse. Although redundant, it is repeated because of the emphatic nature of its affirmation. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Gal 2:6) |
3 tn Or “influential people”; here “leaders” was used rather than “people” for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy with the word “people” in the previous parenthetical remark. See also the note on the word “influential” at the beginning of this verse. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Gal 2:6) |
4 tn Or “contributed.” This is the same word translated “go to ask advice from” in Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">1:16, but it has a different meaning here; see L&N 59.72. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Gal 2:16) |
5 tn In Greek this is a continuation of the preceding sentence, but the construction is too long and complex for contemporary English style, so a new sentence was started here in the translation. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Gal 3:15) |
3 tn The same Greek word, διαθήκη (diaqhkh), can mean either “covenant” or “will,” but in this context the former is preferred here because Paul is discussing in vv. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">16-18 the Abrahamic covenant. |
