Footnotes

  1. 70 Grk “writing by their hand” (an idiom for sending a letter).
  2. 71 Grk “The apostles.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.
  3. 72 Grk “brothers,” but “your” is supplied to specify the relationship, since without it “brothers” could be understood as vocative in English.
  4. 73 Grk “to the brothers who are from the Gentiles.”
  5. 74 Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).
  6. 75 Grk “and Syria,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
