¹ tn Grk “are all from one.”

² tn Grk “for which reason.”

³ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.

⁴ tn Or “partook of” (this is a different word than the one in v. 14a).

⁵ tn Grk “the same.”

⁶ tn Or “break the power of,” “reduce to nothing.”
