NET Notes

tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

tn Grk “I speak according to man,” referring to the illustration that follows.

tn The same Greek word, διαθήκη (diaqhkh), can mean either “covenant” or “will,” but in this context the former is preferred here because Paul is discussing in vv. 16-18 the Abrahamic covenant.

tn Or “has been put into effect.”
