[1:13]  ² tn Grk “to the end,” a Greek idiom for “fully,” “totally,” “completely.”

[11:27]  ⁶ tn The two different words for labor are translated “in hard work and toil” by L&N 42.48.

[11:27]  ⁷ tn Grk “in cold and nakedness.” Paul does not mean complete nakedness, however, which would have been repugnant to a Jew; he refers instead to the lack of sufficient clothing, especially in cold weather.
