| (0.42) | (Act 24:17) | 2 tn Grk “to bring alms,” but the term “alms” is not in common use today, so the closest modern equivalent, “gifts for the poor,” is used instead. |
| (0.42) | (Luk 6:46) | 2 tn The double use of the vocative is normally used in situations of high emotion or emphasis. Even an emphatic confession without action means little. |
| (0.42) | (Mat 12:43) | 3 tn Grk “man.” This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos), referring to both males and females. This same use occurs in v. 45. |
| (0.42) | (Mat 7:21) | 1 sn The double use of the vocative is normally used in situations of high emotion or emphasis. Even an emphatic confession like this one without corresponding action means little. |
| (0.42) | (Mic 4:9) | 5 tn Heb “that.” The Hebrew particle כִּי (ki) is used here in a resultative sense; for this use see R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 73, §450. |

| (0.42) | (Isa 5:26) | 2 tn Heb “he.” Singular forms are used throughout vv. 26-30 to describe this nation, but for stylistic reasons the translation uses the plural for these collective singulars. |
