1:12 Though I have many other 1 things to write to you, I do not want to do so with 2 paper and ink, 3 but I hope to come visit you and speak face to face, 4 so that our joy may be complete. 5
1 tn “Other” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity in English.
2 tn Grk “by means of.”
3 sn Presumably the author means he would rather say the additional things he wants to say to the recipients in person rather than by letter (with paper and ink).
4 tn Grk “speak mouth to mouth,” an idiom for which the English equivalent is “speak face to face.”
5 tn Grk “be fulfilled.”
