1 tn Grk “are all from one.”
2 tn Grk “for which reason.”
3 tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.
4 tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, and is thus translated “people.”
5 tn Grk “by something greater”; the rest of the comparison (“than themselves”) is implied.
6 tn Grk “the oath for confirmation is an end of all dispute.”
