Christian Practices

1 tn Grk “your boasting may overflow in Christ Jesus because of me,” or possibly, “your boasting in me may overflow in Christ Jesus.” BDAG 536 s.v. καύχημα 1 translates the phrase τὸ καύχημα ὑμῶν (to kauchma jJumwn) in Phil 1:26 as “what you can be proud of.”

2 tn Grk “through my coming again to you.”

3 tn Grk “I have sent him to you with earnestness.” But the epistolary aorist needs to be translated as a present tense with this adverb due to English stylistic considerations.

4 tn Or “when you see him you can rejoice again.”

5 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.
