1 tn The words “to help” are not in the Greek text but are implied. 2 tn Grk “concerning which I keep boasting to the Macedonians about you.” A new sentence was started here and the translation was simplified by removing the relative clause and repeating the antecedent “this eagerness of yours.” 3 tn The words “to give” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. 4 tn The words “to participate” are not in the Greek text but are implied. 5 sn Most of them is a reference to the Macedonians (cf. v. 4). |
