Footnotes
- 41 Grk “These”; the referent (the Jews in the synagogue at Berea) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 42 Or “more willing to learn.” L&N 27.48 and εὐγενής 2 both use the term “open-minded” here. The point is that they were more receptive to Paul’s message.
- 43 Thessalonica was a city in Macedonia (modern Salonica). For location see ; ; ; .
- 44 Or “willingly,” “readily”; Grk “with all eagerness.”
- 45 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.
- 46 This verb ( ἀνακρίνω 1) refers to careful examination.
- 47 ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase in this verse.
