Footnotes

  1. 225 Many important early (א B L W [0130] f1, 13 565 892 ) lack “our,” while most (A C D [K] Θ Ψ 0177 33 𝔐 ) supply it. Although the addition is most likely not authentic, “our” has been included in the translation due to English stylistic requirements.
  2. 226 This phrase in Greek is actually thrown forward to the front of the verse to give it emphasis.
  3. 227 The phrases that we … might serve him … in holiness and righteousness from Luke 1:74–75 well summarize a basic goal for a believer in the eyes of Luke. Salvation frees us up to serve God without fear through a life full of ethical integrity.
  4. 228 Grk “all our days.”
