Footnotes
- 46 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
- 47 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 48 Grk “before men.” The contrast is between outward appearance (“in people’s eyes”) and inward reality (“God knows your hearts”). Here the Greek term ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used twice in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, but “men” has been retained in the text to provide a strong verbal contrast with “God” in the second half of the verse.
- 49 Or “exalted.” This refers to the pride that often comes with money and position.
- 50 Or “is an abomination,” “is abhorrent” (L&N 25.187).
