Luke 1:74

1:74 that we, being rescued from the hand of our ¹  enemies,

may serve him without fear, ² 

Luke 1:79

1:79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, ³ 

to guide our feet into the way ⁴  of peace.”

¹ tc Many important early mss (א B L W [0130] Ë^1,13 565 892 pc) lack “our,” while most (A C D [K] Θ Ψ 0177 33 Ï pc) supply it. Although the addition is most likely not authentic, “our” has been included in the translation due to English stylistic requirements.

² tn This phrase in Greek is actually thrown forward to the front of the verse to give it emphasis.

³ sn On the phrases who sit in darkness…and…death see Isa 9:1-2; 42:7; 49:9-10.

⁴ tn Or “the path.”
