1 tn That is, Christ.

2 tn Grk “for not by measure does he give the Spirit” (an idiom). Leviticus Rabbah 15:2 states: “The Holy Spirit rested on the prophets by measure.” Jesus is contrasted to this. The Spirit rests upon him without measure.

4 tn The Greek pronoun and verb are both plural (both parents are addressed).
