2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

3 tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

4 tn A new sentence was started in the translation at this point and καί (kai) was not translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

5 tn Or “in righteousness,” but since the context here involves the punishment of the wicked and the vindication of the saints, “justice” was preferred.
