[1:15]  ¹ tn Grk “Asia”; in the NT this always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.

[2:17]  ² tn Or “eat away.”

[2:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “have deviated concerning the truth.”

[4:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “having loved.”

[4:10]  ⁶ map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1.
