¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

² tn Or “rivalries, disputes.”

³ tn In extrabiblical literature this word was applied to an initiate of a mystery religion (BDAG 995 s.v. τέλειος 3, gives numerous examples and states this was a technical term of the mystery religions). It could here refer to those who believed Paul’s message, the mystery of God (v. 1), and so be translated as “those who believe God’s message.”

⁴ tn Or “are puffed up/arrogant,” the same verb occurring in 4:6, 18.

⁵ tn Grk “sorrowful, so that the one who did this might be removed.”
