1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
2 tn Or “has delivered you”; Grk “has saved you.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation in the immediate context; it refers only to the woman’s healing.
3 tn Grk “do not rejoice in this, that.” This is awkward in contemporary English and has been simplified to “do not rejoice that.”
4 tn The verb here is a present imperative, so the call is to an attitude of rejoicing.
5 tn The verb here, a perfect tense, stresses a present reality of that which was a completed action, that is, their names were etched in the heavenly stone, as it were.
6 tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text, so the example ends on a hopeful, positive note.
7 tn Grk “Therefore”; the same conjunction as at the beginning of v. 35, but since it indicates a further inference or conclusion, it has been translated “then” here.
8 tn Grk “not having any part dark.”
9 tn Grk “it will be completely illumined as when a lamp illumines you with its rays.”
10 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the reports the man received about his manager.
11 tn Grk “him”; the referent (the manager) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
12 sn Although phrased as a question, the charges were believed by the owner, as his dismissal of the manager implies.
13 tn Or “stewardship”; the Greek word οἰκονομία (oikonomia) is cognate with the noun for the manager (οἰκονόμος, oikonomo").
14 tn It is difficult to know if this looks back or forward or both. The warning suggests it looks back. For this verb, see Luke 8:18; 12:1, 15; 20:46; 21:8, 34. The present imperative reflects an ongoing spirit of watchfulness.
15 tn Both the “if” clause in this verse and the “if” clause in v. 4 are third class conditions in Greek.
16 tn Here the term “brother” means “fellow believer” or “fellow Christian” (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a, contra BDAG 19 s.v. 2.c), but with a familial connotation. It refers equally to men, women, or children. However, because of the familial connotations, “brother” has been retained in the translation here in preference to the more generic “fellow believer” (“fellow Christian” would be anachronistic in this context).
17 tn Grk “And if.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
