NET Notes |
1 tn Or “the divine being.” BDAG 446 s.v. θεῖος 1.b has “divine being, divinity” here. 2 tn Or “a likeness.” Again idolatry is directly attacked as an affront to God and a devaluation of him. 3 tn Grk “by the skill and imagination of man,” but ἀνθρώπου (anqrwpou) has been translated as an attributive genitive. 4 tn Or “craftsmanship” (cf. BDAG 1001 s.v. τέχνη). 5 tn Or “thought.” BDAG 336 s.v. ἐνθύμησις has “thought, reflection, idea” as the category of meaning here, but in terms of creativity (as in the context) the imaginative faculty is in view. |
