[3:4]  ¹ tn Grk “every man”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here to stress humanity rather than masculinity.

[3:4]  ² tn Grk “Let God be true, and every man a liar.” The words “proven” and “shown up” are supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning.

[3:4]  ³ tn Grk “might be justified,” a subjunctive verb, but in this type of clause it carries the same sense as the future indicative verb in the latter part. “Will” is more idiomatic in contemporary English.

[3:4]  ⁴ tn Or “prevail when you judge.” A quotation from Ps 51:4.

[3:31]  ⁵ tn Grk “render inoperative.”

[3:31]  ⁶ tn Grk “but” (Greek ἀλλά, alla).

[11:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “that they might fall.”

[11:11]  ⁸ tn Grk “them”; the referent (Israel, cf. 11:7) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
