NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “rescuing.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the participle ἐξαιρούμενος (exairoumeno") has been translated as a finite verb and a new sentence started in the translation at the beginning of v. 17. 2 tn That is, from the Jewish people. Grk “the people”; the words “your own” have been supplied to clarify the meaning. 3 tn The antecedent of the relative pronoun is probably both the Jews (“your own people”) and the Gentiles, indicating the comprehensive commission Paul received. |
