¹ sn Fruit worthy of repentance refers to the deeds that indicate a change of attitude (heart) on the part of John’s hearers.

² tn Grk “fruit worthy of.”

³ tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁴ tn Grk “You will love.” The future indicative is used here with imperatival force (see ExSyn 452 and 569).
