| (0.30) | (Joh 15:5) | 3 tn Grk “in him, this one bears much fruit.” The pronoun “this one” has been omitted from the translation because it is redundant according to contemporary English style. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 12:22) | 1 tn Grk “Andrew and Philip”; because a repetition of the proper names would be redundant in contemporary English style, the phrase “they both” has been substituted in the translation. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 12:2) | 2 tn Grk “And Martha.” The connective καί (kai, “and”) has been omitted in the translation because it would produce a run-on sentence in English. |

| (0.30) | (Joh 6:10) | 3 tn Here “men” has been used in the translation because the following number, 5,000, probably included only adult males (see the parallel in Matt 14:21). |

| (0.30) | (Luk 23:34) | 3 tn Grk “cast lots” (probably by using marked pebbles or broken pieces of pottery). A modern equivalent “threw dice” was chosen here because of its association with gambling. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 23:29) | 2 sn Normally barrenness is a sign of judgment because birth would be seen as a sign of blessing. The reversal of imagery indicates that something was badly wrong. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 23:3) | 3 sn “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate was interested only in the third charge because of its political implications of sedition against Rome. |
| (0.30) | (Luk 21:27) | 1 tn Grk “And then” (καὶ τότε, kai tote). Here καί has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. |

| (0.30) | (Luk 5:25) | 2 tn Grk “and picked up.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because contemporary English normally places a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series. |
