| NET Notes |
1 tn “And” is not in Greek, but is supplied for the sake of English style. 2 tn Or “going.” Though the participle is anarthrous, so also is the subject. Thus, the participle could be either adverbial or adjectival. 3 tn Grk “(who go/going) according to their own lusts.” 4 tn Grk “and their mouth speaks bombastic things.” 4 sn They give bombastic speeches. The idiom of opening one’s mouth in the NT often implied a public oration from a teacher or one in authority. Cf. Matt 5:2; Luke 4:22; Acts 1:16; 3:18; 10:34; Eph 6:19; Rev 13:5-6. 5 sn Enchanting folks (Grk “awing faces”) refers to the fact that the speeches of these false teachers are powerful and seductive. 6 tn Or “to their own advantage.” |
