NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

²tn Though the Greek text only has αὐτούς (autous, “them”), the antecedent is the slaves of the masters. Therefore, it was translated this way to make it explicit in English.

³tn Grk “do the same things to them.”

⁴tn Grk “giving up the threat.”

⁵tn Grk “because of both they and you, the Lord is, in heaven…”
