NET Notes

1 tn Grk “lose heart, saying.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text, but a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronominal subject “He.”

2 tn Or “town.”

3 sn The judge here is apparently portrayed as a civil judge who often handled financial cases.

4 tn Grk “man,” but the singular ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used as a generic in comparison to God.
