[7:23]  ¹ tn Grk “workers of lawlessness.”

[13:14]  ² tn Grk “with hearing,” a cognate dative that intensifies the action of the main verb “you will listen” (ExSyn 168-69).

[13:14]  ³ tn Grk “look by looking.” The participle is redundant, functioning to intensify the force of the main verb.

[15:23]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”

[15:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[24:38]  ⁶ tn Grk “they,” but in an indefinite sense, “people.”
