Footnotes
- 21 The terms “however” and “but” in this sentence were supplied in order to emphasize the contrast.
- 22 The articular noun τῇ ἀπεκδύσει (tē apekdusei) is a noun which ends in -σις (-sis) and therefore denotes action, i.e., “removal.” Since the head noun is a verbal noun, the following genitive τοῦ σώματος (tou sōmatos) is understood as an objective genitive, receiving the action of the head noun.
- 23 Grk “in the removal of the body of flesh.” The genitive τῇς σαρκός (tēs sarkos) has been translated as an attributive genitive, “fleshly body.”
- 24 The second prepositional phrase beginning with ἐν τῇ περιτομῇ (en tē peritomē) is parallel to the prepositional phrase ἐν τῇ ἀπεκδύσει (en tē apekdusei) and gives a further explanation of it. The words “that is” were supplied to bring out this force in the translation.
