Acts 18:21

Context
18:21 but said farewell to 1  them and added, 2  “I will come back 3  to you again if God wills.” 4  Then 5  he set sail from Ephesus,

1 tn Or “but took leave of.”

2 tn Grk “and saying”; the participle εἰπών (eipwn) has been translated as “added” rather than “said” to avoid redundancy with the previous “said farewell.” The participle εἰπών has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

3 tn Or “will return.”

4 tn The participle θέλοντος (qelontos), a genitive absolute construction, has been translated as a conditional adverbial participle. Again Paul acts in dependence on God.

5 tn A new sentence was begun here in the translation due to the length of the sentence in Greek and the requirements of contemporary English style, which generally uses shorter sentences.
