[2:11]  ¹ sn Cephas. This individual is generally identified with the Apostle Peter (L&N 93.211).

[2:11]  ² map For location see JP1 F2; JP2 F2; JP3 F2; JP4 F2.

[2:11]  ³ tn Grk “because he stood condemned.”

[3:20]  ⁴ tn The meaning of this verse is disputed. According to BDAG 634 s.v. μεσίτης, “It prob. means that the activity of an intermediary implies the existence of more than one party, and hence may be unsatisfactory because it must result in a compromise. The presence of an intermediary would prevent attainment, without any impediment, of the purpose of the εἶς θεός in giving the law.” See also A. Oepke, TDNT 4:598-624, esp. 618-19.

[6:9]  ⁵ tn Or “not become discouraged,” “not lose heart” (L&N 25.288).

[6:9]  ⁶ tn Or “if we do not become extremely weary,” “if we do not give out,” “if we do not faint from exhaustion” (L&N 23.79).
