NET © Notes |
1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. 2 tn Though the Greek text only has αὐτούς (autous, “them”), the antecedent is the slaves of the masters. Therefore, it was translated this way to make it explicit in English. 3 tn Grk “do the same things to them.” 4 tn Grk “giving up the threat.” 5 tn Grk “because of both they and you, the Lord is, in heaven…” |
