Footnotes

  1. 110 This is a first class condition in the Greek text, so the example ends on a hopeful, positive note.
  2. 111 Grk “Therefore”; the same conjunction as at the beginning of v. 35, but since it indicates a further inference or conclusion, it has been translated “then” here.
  3. 112 Grk “not having any part dark.”
  4. 113 Grk “it will be completely illumined as when a lamp illumines you with its rays.”
