2 tn Or “righteous,” or “proper.”
3 tn That is, “the will of the Father who sent me.”

5 tn Grk “the one”; the referent (the Father) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
6 tn Grk “true” (in the sense of one who always tells the truth).
7 tn Grk “and what things I have heard from him, these things I speak to the world.”
