NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “These”; the referent (the Jews in the synagogue at Berea) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 2 tn Or “more willing to learn.” L&N 27.48 and BDAG 404 s.v. εὐγενής 2 both use the term “open-minded” here. The point is that they were more receptive to Paul’s message. 3 sn Thessalonica was a city in Macedonia (modern Salonica). 3 map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1. 4 tn Or “willingly,” “readily”; Grk “with all eagerness.” 5 tn Grk “who received.” Here the relative pronoun (“who”) has been translated as a pronoun (“they”) preceded by a semicolon, which is less awkward in contemporary English than a relative clause at this point. 6 tn This verb (BDAG 66 s.v. ἀνακρίνω 1) refers to careful examination. 7 tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase in this verse. |
