[1:5]  ¹ tn Grk “recalling” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:5]  ² tn Grk “the sincere faith in you.”

[1:5]  ³ tn Or “convinced.”

[1:18]  ⁴ sn That day is a reference to the day when Onesiphorus (v. 16) stands before Christ to give account for his service (cf. v. 12; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).

[1:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “all the ways he served in Ephesus.”

[1:18]  map For location see JP1 D2; JP2 D2; JP3 D2; JP4 D2.

[2:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “what you heard from me” (cf. 1:13).

[2:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “through many witnesses.” The “through” is used here to show attendant circumstances: “accompanied by,” “in the presence of.”

[2:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “faithful men”; but here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is generic, referring to both men and women.

[2:2]  ⁹ tn Or “able” (see Paul’s use of this word in regard to ministry in 2 Cor 2:16; 3:5-6).

[3:2]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “men”; but here ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is generic, referring to both men and women.

[3:2]  ¹¹ tn Or “self-centered.” The first two traits in 2 Tim 3:2 and the last two in 3:4 are Greek words beginning with the root “lovers of,” and so bracket the list at beginning and end.

[4:2]  ¹² tn Or “the word.”

[4:2]  ¹³ tn Or “be persistent.”

[4:2]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “in season, out of season.”

[4:2]  ¹⁵ tn Or “encourage.”
