NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “calling.” The participle is neuter indicating that the Spirit is the one who calls. 2 tn The term “Abba” is the Greek transliteration of the Aramaic אַבָּא (’abba’), literally meaning “my father” but taken over simply as “father,” used in prayer and in the family circle, and later taken over by the early Greek-speaking Christians (BDAG 1 s.v. ἀββα). |
