Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Jud 1:16) | 2 tn Or “going.” Though the participle is anarthrous, so also is the subject. Thus, the participle could be either adverbial or adjectival. |
| (0.30) | (Jud 1:4) | 6 tn Grk “debauchery.” This is the same word Peter uses to predict what the false teachers will be like (2 Pet 2:2, 7, 18). |
| (0.30) | (1Jo 4:3) | 2 tn Or “refuses to acknowledge”; Grk “that does not confess,” but the literal rendering can be misread by an English reader as a double negative with the following clause. |
| (0.30) | (1Jo 3:1) | 3 tn The indicative mood indicates that the verb ἐσμέν (esmen) at the end of 3:1a is not governed by the ἵνα (hina) and does not belong with the ἵνα clause, since this would have required a subjunctive. If the verb ἐσμέν were subjunctive, the force of the clause would be “that we should be called children of God, and be (children of God).” With ἐσμέν as indicative, the clause reads “that we should be called children of God, and indeed we are (children of God).” |
| (0.30) | (1Jo 1:6) | 1 tn The context of this statement in 1:6 indicates clearly that the progressive (continuative or durative) aspect of the present tense must be in view here. |
| (0.30) | (2Pe 3:4) | 4 tn Grk “fathers.” The reference could be either to the OT patriarchs or first generation Christians. This latter meaning, however, is unattested in any other early Christian literature. |
| (0.30) | (2Pe 2:22) | 1 tn Grk “the [statement] of the true proverb has happened to them.” The idiom in Greek cannot be translated easily in English. |
| (0.30) | (2Pe 2:12) | 6 tn This cryptic expression has been variously interpreted. (1) It could involve a simple cognate dative in which case the idea is “they will be utterly destroyed.” But the presence of αὐτῶν (autōn; their, of them) is problematic for this view. Other, more plausible views are: (2) the false teachers will be destroyed at the same time as the irrational beasts, or (3) in the same manner as these creatures (i.e., by being caught); or (4) the false teachers will be destroyed together with the evil angels whom they insult. Because of the difficulties of the text, it was thought best to leave it ambiguous, as the Greek has it. |
| (0.30) | (2Pe 2:5) | 1 tn “Along with seven others” is implied in the cryptic, “the eighth, Noah.” A more literal translation thus would be, “he did protect Noah [as] the eighth…” |
| (0.30) | (2Pe 2:6) | 2 tn The perfect participle τεθεικώς (tetheikōs) suggests an antecedent act. More idiomatically, the idea seems to be, “because he had already appointed them to serve as an example.” |
| (0.30) | (2Pe 1:19) | 6 tn Grk “as”; ὡς (hōs) clauses after imperatives or implied commands (as here) make a comparison of what should be true (imperative) to what is true (indicative). This is the case even when the verb of the ὡς clause is only implied. Cf. Matt 6:10 (“may your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven”); 10:16 (“be wise as serpents [are], and be as gentle as doves [are]”); 22:39 (“love your neighbor as [you already do] love yourself”). |
| (0.30) | (1Pe 3:4) | 1 tn Grk “the hidden man.” KJV’s “the hidden man of the heart,” referring to a wife, could be seriously misunderstood by the modern English reader. |
| (0.30) | (1Pe 3:7) | 2 tn Grk “so that your prayers may not be hindered.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek, this clause was translated as a separate sentence. |
| (0.30) | (1Pe 2:23) | 1 tn Grk “who being maligned,” continuing the reference to Christ. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. |
| (0.30) | (1Pe 1:7) | 3 tn Grk “that the testing of your faith…may be found unto praise,” showing the result of the trials mentioned in v. 6. |
| (0.30) | (Heb 12:22) | 1 tn Grk “and the city”; the conjunction is omitted in translation since it seems to be functioning epexegetically—that is, explaining further what is meant by “Mount Zion.” |
| (0.30) | (Heb 11:33) | 1 tn This probably refers to the righteous rule of David and others. But it could be more general and mean “did what was righteous.” |
| (0.30) | (Heb 11:3) | 1 tn Grk “ages.” The temporal (ages) came to be used of the spatial (what exists in those time periods). See Heb 1:2 for same usage. |
| (0.30) | (Heb 11:3) | 3 sn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that what is seen did not come into being from things that are visible.” |
| (0.30) | (Heb 6:6) | 2 tn Or “while”; Grk “crucifying…and holding.” The Greek participles here (“crucifying…and holding”) can be understood as either causal (“since”) or temporal (“while”). |
