Footnotes

  1. 10 For the translation of χαριζόμενοι (charizomenoi) as “forgiving,” see χαρίζομαι 3. The two participles “bearing” (ἀνεχόμενοι, anechomenoi) and “forgiving” (χαριζόμενοι) express the means by which the action of the finite verb “clothe yourselves” is to be carried out.
  2. 11 Grk “if someone has”; the term “happens,” though not in the Greek text, is inserted to bring out the force of the third class condition.
  3. 12 The expression “forgive others” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. It is included in the translation to make the sentence complete and more comprehensible to the English reader.
