ContextChristian Practices
4:1 So then, my brothers and sisters, 3 dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!
1 tn Grk “I have sent him to you with earnestness.” But the epistolary aorist needs to be translated as a present tense with this adverb due to English stylistic considerations.
2 tn Or “when you see him you can rejoice again.”
3 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.
