1 sn Law. There is no definite article (“the”) with this word in Greek and so the inherent quality of the OT law as such is in view. But the OT law is still in mind, since the types of sinful people surveyed in vv. 9b-11a follow the general outline of sins prohibited in the Decalogue.
2 tn Grk “but because of this I was treated with mercy, so that…”
3 tn Grk “in me first,” making the connection with the last phrase of v. 15.
4 tn Or “to practice their religion.”
5 tn Or “and so make some repayment to their parents”; Grk “and to give back recompense to their parents.”
6 tn Grk “for this is pleasing in the sight of God.”
7 tn Or “left all alone.”
8 tn L&N 15.23 suggests the meaning, “to move about from place to place, with significant changes in direction – ‘to travel about, to wander about.’”
9 tn Or “idle.” The whole clause (“going around from house to house, they learn to be lazy”) reverses the order of the Greek. The present participle περιερχόμεναι (periercomenai) may be taken as temporal (“while going around”), instrumental (“by going around”) or result (“with the result that they go around”).
10 tn Grk “saying the things that are unnecessary.” Or perhaps “talking about things that are none of their business.”
11 tn Grk “in the present age.”
12 tn Grk “in uncertainty.”
