¹ tn Grk “the beginning of the confidence.”

² sn The curtain refers to the veil or drape in the temple that separated the holy place from the holy of holies.

³ sn The Greek text contains an elaborate comparison between v. 20a and v. 22, with a parenthesis (vv. 20b-21) in between; the comparison is literally, “by as much as…by so much” or “to the degree that…to that same degree.”

⁴ tn Grk “no occasion for a second one would have been sought.”

⁵ tn Grk “by which will.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁶ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

⁷ tn Grk “neglect doing good and fellowship.”
