Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Rom 11:4) | 2 tn The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anēr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, it appears to be a generic usage (“people”) since when Paul speaks of a remnant of faithful Israelites (“the elect,” v. 7), he is not referring to males only. It can also be argued, however, that it refers only to adult males here (“men”), perhaps as representative of all the faithful left in Israel. |
| (0.30) | (Sos 6:9) | 1 tn Alternately, “She alone is my dove, my perfect one.” The term אַחַת (ʾakhat) is used here as an adjective of quality: “unique, singular, the only one” (DCH 1:180 s.v. אֶחָד 1b). The masculine form is used elsewhere to describe Yahweh as the “only” or “unique” God of Israel who demands exclusive love and loyalty (Deut 6:4; Zech 14:9). Although Solomon possessed a large harem, she was the only woman for him. |

| (0.30) | (Rev 3:1) | 7 tn The prepositional phrase “in reality” is supplied in the translation to make explicit the idea that their being alive was only an illusion. |
| (0.30) | (2Pe 1:19) | 1 tn Grk “and.” The use of καί (kai) is of course quite elastic. Only the context can determine if it is adversative, continuative, transitional, etc. |
| (0.30) | (2Ti 3:10) | 2 tn The possessive “my” occurs only at the beginning of the list but is positioned in Greek to apply to each of the words in the series. |

| (0.30) | (Phi 2:4) | 2 tn The word “only” is not in the Greek text, but is implied by the ἀλλὰ καί (alla kai) in the second clause (“but…as well”). |
| (0.30) | (Eph 1:6) | 2 tn Grk “the beloved.” The term ἠγαπημένῳ (ēgapēmenō) means “beloved,” but often bears connotations of “only beloved” in an exclusive sense. “His dearly loved Son” picks up this connotation. |
| (0.30) | (Gal 2:10) | 1 tn Grk “only that we remember the poor”; the words “They requested” have been supplied from the context to make a complete English sentence. |
| (0.30) | (2Co 10:4) | 3 sn Ultimately Paul is referring here to the false arguments of his opponents, calling them figuratively “strongholds.” This Greek word (ὀχύρωμα, ochurōma) is used only here in the NT. |
| (0.30) | (Rom 9:28) | 1 sn A modified quotation from Isa 10:22-23. Since it is not exact, it has been printed as italics only. |

| (0.30) | (Act 14:5) | 3 tn The direct object “them” is repeated after both verbs in the translation for stylistic reasons, although it occurs only after λιθοβολῆσαι (lithobolēsai) in the Greek text. |
| (0.30) | (Act 9:20) | 2 sn This is the only use of the title Son of God in Acts. The book prefers to allow a variety of descriptions to present Jesus. |
| (0.30) | (Act 7:51) | 2 tn The term ἀπερίτμητοι (aperitmētoi, “uncircumcised”) is a NT hapax legomenon (occurs only once). See BDAG 101-2 s.v. ἀπερίτμητος and Isa 52:1. |
| (0.30) | (Act 7:41) | 3 tn Or “a bull calf” (see Exod 32:4-6). The term μοσχοποιέω (moschopoieō) occurs only in Christian writings according to BDAG 660 s.v. |
