NET Notes

¹tn The conditional particle εἰ (ei) together with καί (kai) here indicates a first class condition in Greek and carries a concessive force, especially when seen in contrast to the following phrase which begins with ἀλλά (alla).

²tn Grk “rejoicing and seeing.”

³tn The Greek word τάξις can mean “order,” “discipline,” or even “unbroken ranks” (REB).
