tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

tn Grk “and his wife.”

tn Grk “his.” The pronoun has been translated to follow English idiom (the last pronoun of the verse [“from your heart”] is second person plural in the original).

tn Here the term “brother” means “fellow believer” or “fellow Christian” (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a), whether male or female. Concerning the familial connotations, see also the note on the first occurrence of this term in v. 15.
