Discovery Box| (0.40) | (Gen 16:11) | 4 tn Heb “affliction,” which must refer here to Hagar’s painful groans of anguish. |
| (0.40) | (Gen 16:2) | 4 tn Heb “listened to the voice of,” which is an idiom meaning “obeyed.” |
| (0.40) | (Gen 10:28) | 2 sn The name Abimael is a genuine Sabean form which means “my father, truly, he is God.” |
| (0.40) | (Gen 8:22) | 2 tn Heb “seed,” which stands here by metonymy for the time when seed is planted. |
| (0.39) | (Sos 2:15) | 3 sn In ancient Near Eastern love literature it was common to use wild animals to symbolize potential problems which could separate lovers and destroy their love. For instance, in Egyptian love songs it is the crocodile, rather than the foxes, which were used as figures for obstacles which might threaten a couple’s love. Here the “foxes” are probably used figuratively to represent potentially destructive problems which could destroy their romantic relationship and which could hinder it from ripening into marriage. |
| (0.35) | (Rev 2:20) | 4 tn Grk “teaches and deceives” (διδάσκει καὶ πλανᾷ, didaskei kai plana), a construction in which the first verb appears to specify the means by which the second is accomplished: “by her teaching, deceives…” |
| (0.35) | (Rev 1:17) | 1 tn Grk “And when.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here. |
| (0.35) | (1Pe 2:19) | 1 tn Grk “For this [is] favor/grace,” used as a metonymy of that which pleases him, which he looks on with favor (cf. BDAG 1079 s.v. χάρις 2). Cf. 1 Pet 2:20. |
| (0.35) | (1Pe 2:20) | 1 tn Grk “For this [is] favor/grace with God,” used as a metonymy as in vs. 19 of that which pleases him, which he looks on with favor (cf. BDAG 1079 s.v. χάρις 2). |
| (0.35) | (1Ti 6:15) | 1 tn Grk “which.” All of 1 Tim 6:15 is a relative clause which refers back to “appearing” in v.14. The phrase “whose appearing” was supplied to clarify this connection. |
| (0.35) | (Phi 2:5) | 1 tn Grk “Have this attitude in/among yourselves which also [was] in Christ Jesus,” or “Have this attitude in/among yourselves which [you] also [have] in Christ Jesus.” |
| (0.35) | (Eph 6:12) | 5 sn The phrase spiritual forces of evil in the heavens serves to emphasize the nature of the forces which oppose believers as well as to indicate the locality from which they originate. |
| (0.35) | (Eph 1:23) | 1 tn Grk “which is.” The antecedent of “which” is easily lost in English, though in Greek it is quite clear. In the translation “church” is repeated to clarify the referent. |
| (0.35) | (Gal 1:7) | 1 tn Grk “which is not another,” but this could be misunderstood to mean “which is not really different.” In fact, as Paul goes on to make clear, there is no other gospel than the one he preaches. |
| (0.35) | (1Co 2:1) | 1 tn Grk “and I, when I came.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, κἀγώ (kagō) has not been translated here. |
| (0.35) | (Rom 4:20) | 1 tn Grk “And he.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, δέ (de) has not been translated here. |
| (0.35) | (Act 24:13) | 3 tn Grk “nor can they prove to you [the things] about which they are now accusing me.” This has been simplified to eliminate the relative pronoun (“which”) in the translation. |
| (0.35) | (Act 24:15) | 3 tn Grk “a hope in God (which these [men] themselves accept too).” Because the antecedent of the relative pronoun “which” is somewhat unclear in English, the words “a hope” have been repeated at the beginning of the parenthesis for clarity. |
| (0.35) | (Act 23:3) | 2 tn Grk “And do.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here. |
| (0.35) | (Act 22:19) | 1 tn Grk “And I said.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai, in καγώ [kagō]) has not been translated here. |
