[1:16]  ¹ tn Grk “making mention [of you].”

[1:22]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:22]  ³ tn Grk “subjected.”

[1:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “his”; the referent (Christ) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:22]  ⁵ sn An allusion to Ps 8:6.

[1:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “and he gave him as head over all things to the church.”

[4:2]  ⁷ tn Or “meekness.” The word is often used in Hellenistic Greek of the merciful execution of justice on behalf of those who have no voice by those who are in a position of authority (Matt 11:29; 21:5).

[4:2]  ⁸ tn Or “putting up with”; or “forbearing.”

[5:19]  ⁹ tn See BDAG 1096 s.v. ψάλλω.

[5:19]  ¹⁰ tn Or “with.”

[5:33]  ¹¹ tn The translation of πλήν (plhn) is somewhat difficult in this context, though the overall thrust of the argument is clear. It could be an adversative idea such as “but,” “nevertheless,” or “however” (see NIV, NASB, NRSV), or it could simply be intended to round out and bring to conclusion the author’s discussion. In this latter case it could be translated with the use of “now” (so A. T. Lincoln, Ephesians [WBC], 384).

[5:33]  ¹² tn Grk “Nevertheless, you also, one by one, each his own wife so let him love as himself.” This statement is cumbersome and was cleaned up to reflect better English style.

[5:33]  ¹³ tn The ἵνα (Jina) clause was taken as imperatival, i.e., “let the wife respect….”

[5:33]  ¹⁴ tn The Greek verb φοβέομαι (fobeomai) here has been translated “respect” and the noun form of the word, i.e., φόβος (fobos), has been translated as “reverence” in 5:21.

[6:23]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).
