NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “prisoner in the Lord.”

²tn Grk “walk.” The verb “walk” in the NT letters refers to the conduct of one’s life, not to physical walking.

³sn With which you have been called. The calling refers to the Holy Spirit’s prompting that caused them to believe. The author is thus urging his readers to live a life that conforms to their saved status before God.
