Acts 27:22

27:22 And now I advise ¹  you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the ship will be lost. ² 

Acts 27:31

27:31 Paul said to the centurion ³  and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you ⁴  cannot be saved.”

¹ tn The same verb is used for Paul’s original recommendation in Ac 27:9.

² tn Grk “except the ship.” Here “but” is used to translate the improper preposition πλήν (plhn; see BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 2) since an exception like this, where two different categories of objects are involved (people and a ship), is more naturally expressed in contemporary English with an adversative (“but”). The words “will be lost” are also supplied for clarity.

³ sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

⁴ sn The pronoun you is plural in Greek.
