| NET © Notes |
1 sn The call to sell your possessions is a call to a lack of attachment to the earth and a generosity as a result. 2 tn Grk “give alms,” but this term is not in common use today. 3 tn Grk “in the heavens.” 4 tn Or “an unfailing treasure in heaven,” or “an inexhaustible treasure in heaven.” 5 tn The term σής (shs) refers to moths in general. It is specifically the larvae of moths that destroy clothing by eating holes in it (L&N 4.49; BDAG 922 s.v.). See Jas 5:2, which mentions “moth-eaten” clothing. |
