² tn Grk “burned with intense desire” (L&N 25.16).

³ tn Grk “another, men committing…and receiving,” continuing the description of their deeds. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁴ tn Grk “(as we are slandered and some affirm that we say…).”

⁵ tn Grk “whose.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, this relative clause was rendered as a new sentence in the translation.

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁷ tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts”; Grk “Lord Sabaoth,” which means “Lord of the [heavenly] armies,” sometimes translated more generally as “Lord Almighty.”

⁸ sn A quotation from Isa 1:9.
