[7:10]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “So” to indicate the result of the statement in the previous verse. Greek style often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” but English style generally does not.

[8:37]  ⁵ tn Here the referent could be either God or Christ, but in v. 39 it is God’s love that is mentioned.

[9:31]  ⁶ tn Or “who pursued.” The participle could be taken adverbially or adjectivally.
