[4:21]  ¹ tn Grk “and being.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:21]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:2]  ³ tn Or “was justified.”

[4:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “pain.” This word appears only three times in the NT outside of this verse (Rev 16:10, 11; 21:4) where the translation “pain” makes sense. For the present verse it has been translated “worked hard.” See BDAG 852 s.v. πόνος 1.
