[2:9]  ⁵ tn Or “to be subject to their own masters, to do what is wanted in everything.”

[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.
