Footnotes

  1. 20 Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. 21 Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.
  3. 22 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
  4. 23 The phrase “not be able to” was used in the translation to emphasize the strong negation (οὐ μή, ou mē) in the Greek text.
