¹ tn Grk “longing to see you, remembering your tears” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² sn There is a strong emphasis on the pronoun you in contrast to the people described in vv. 2-9.

³ tn The possessive “my” occurs only at the beginning of the list but is positioned in Greek to apply to each of the words in the series.

⁴ tn Or “sober,” “temperate.”
