¹ sn The revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ refers to the Lord’s return, when he will be revealed (cf. the reference to the day of our Lord Jesus Christ in v. 8).

² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

³ tn Grk “fleshly [people]”; the Greek term here is σαρκινός (BDAG 914 s.v. 1).

⁴ tn Grk “a still more excellent way.” In this context the phrase has an elative rather than a comparative sense, however.
