Footnotes

  1. 64 Grk “do not rejoice in this, that.” This is awkward in contemporary English and has been simplified to “do not rejoice that.”
  2. 65 The verb here is a present imperative, so the call is to an attitude of rejoicing.
  3. 66 The verb here, a perfect tense, stresses a present reality of that which was a completed action, that is, their names were etched in the heavenly stone, as it were.
