Footnotes
- 89 Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 90 Or “speaking about.”
- 91 Grk “and self-control.” This 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. The topic of self-control was appropriate in view of the personal history of both Felix and Drusilla (see the note on “Drusilla” in the previous verse), and might well account for Felix’s anxiety.
- 92 See the note on Felix in .
- 93 Grk “becoming.” The participle γενόμενος (genomenos) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 94 Or “when I find time.” μεταλαμβάνω 2 has “καιρὸν μ. have an opportunity = find time … Ac 24:25.”
