NET Notes

¹tn Grk “having eyes.” See note on “men” at the beginning of v. 12.

²tn Grk “full of an adulteress.”

³tn Grk “and unceasing from sin.” Some translate this “insatiable for sin,” but such a translation is based on a textual variant with inadequate support.

⁴tn Grk “enticing.” See note on “men” at the beginning of v. 12.

⁵tn “People” is literally “souls.” The term ψυχή (yuch) can refer to one’s soul, one’s life, or oneself.

⁶tn Grk “having hearts trained in greediness, children of cursing.” The participles continue the general description of the false teachers, without strong grammatical connection. The genitive κατάρας (kataras, “of cursing”) is taken attributively here.
