NETBible

They strengthened¹ the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue² in the faith, saying, “We must enter the kingdom³ of God through many persecutions.”⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “to Antioch, strengthening.” Due to the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences, a new sentence was started here. This participle (ἐπιστηρίζοντες, episthrizonte") and the following one (παρακαλοῦντες, parakalounte") have been translated as finite verbs connected by the coordinating conjunction “and.”

²sn And encouraged them to continue. The exhortations are like those noted in Acts 11:23; 13:43. An example of such a speech is found in Acts 20:18-35. Christianity is now characterized as “the faith.”

³sn This reference to the kingdom of God clearly refers to its future arrival.

⁴tn Or “sufferings.”
