NET Notes

¹tn Because of the length and complexity of this Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the phrase “We were encouraged.”

²tn Or “comfort,” “consolation.”

³tn Grk “by the encouragement with which he was encouraged by you.” The passive construction was translated as an active one in keeping with contemporary English style, and the repeated word “encouraged” was replaced in the translation by “gave” to avoid redundancy in the translation.

⁴tn Or “your grieving,” “your deep sorrow.”

⁵tn Or “your zeal.”
