¹ tn Grk “having children in submission with all dignity.” The last phrase, “keep his children in control without losing his dignity,” may refer to the children rather than the parent: “having children who are obedient and respectful.”

² tn In context “laying hands on anyone” refers to ordination or official installation of someone as an elder.

³ tn Grk “and do not share in the sins of others.”
