NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “purify ourselves.” 2 tn Grk “from every defilement of the flesh.” 3 tn Grk “accomplishing.” The participle has been translated as a finite verb due to considerations of contemporary English style, and “thus” has been supplied to indicate that it represents a result of the previous cleansing. 4 tn Grk “in the fear of God.” |
