[2:5]  ¹ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:5]  ² tn Grk “domestic,” “keeping house.”

[2:5]  ³ tn Or “word.”

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Or “slandered.”

[2:6]  ⁵ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “training us” (as a continuation of the previous clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 by translating the participle παιδεύουσα (paideuousa) as a finite verb and supplying the pronoun “it” as subject.

[2:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “ungodliness.”
