6:19 In this way they will save up ⁹  a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation ¹⁰  for the future and so lay hold of ¹¹  what is truly life.

[1:5]  ¹ tn Grk “the instruction,” referring to orthodox Christian teaching and ministry in general, in contrast to that of the false teachers mentioned in 1:3-4.

[1:5]  ² tn Grk “love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”

[1:7]  ³ tn The Greek reinforces this negation: “understand neither what they are saying nor the things they insist on…”

[2:2]  ⁴ tn For “even for kings” the Greek says simply “for kings.”

[5:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “who lead well.”

[5:17]  ⁶ tn Or “deserving.”

[5:17]  ⁷ tn Like the similar use of “honor” in v. 3, this phrase
denotes both respect and remuneration: “honor plus honorarium.”

[5:17]  ⁸ tn Or “in preaching”; Grk “in word.”

[6:19]  ⁹ tn Grk “saving up” (the continuation of 6:18). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 19.

[6:19]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “treasuring up a good foundation.”

[6:19]  ¹¹ tn Grk “that they may lay hold of.”
