3:17 I thought to myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked;

for there is an appropriate time for every activity,

and there is a time of judgment ¹⁶  for every deed.

¹ tn Or “tool.”

² tn Grk “the sons of Israel.” In Acts, Paul is a minister to all nations, including Israel (Rom 1:16-17).

³ tn Or “Saul, making dire threats.”

⁴ tn The expression “breathing out threats and murder” is an idiomatic expression for “making threats to murder” (see L&N 33.293). Although the two terms “threats” and “murder” are syntactically coordinate, the second is semantically subordinate to the first. In other words, the content of the threats is to murder the disciples.

⁵ tn Grk “And” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the logical sequence of events.

⁶ tn Or “they arrested”; Grk “they laid hands on.”

⁷ tn Or “prison,” “custody.”

⁸ tn Or “had heard.”

⁹ tn Or “word.”

¹⁰ tn In the historical setting it is likely that only men are referred to here. The Greek term ἀνήρ (anhr) usually refers to males or husbands rather than people in general. Thus to translate “of the people” would give a false impression of the number, since any women and children were apparently not included in the count.

¹¹ tn Or “greatly annoyed,” “provoked.”

¹² tn Or “proclaiming.”

¹³ tn Grk “say what is fitting for sound teaching” (introducing the behavior called for in this chapter.).

¹⁴ tn Grk “say what is fitting for sound teaching” (introducing the behavior called for in this chapter.).

¹⁵ tn Grk “say what is fitting for sound teaching” (introducing the behavior called for in this chapter.).

¹⁶ tn The phrase “a time of judgment” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.
