1 tn Grk “God bearing witness together” (the phrase “with them” is implied).
2 tn Grk “and distributions of the Holy Spirit.”
3 tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”
4 tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”
5 tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”
6 tn Grk “there are those who offer.”
