- 1 Corinthians 1:8 tn Grk “who,” referring to Christ. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
- 1 Corinthians 1:10 tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelphoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).
- 1 Corinthians 1:10 tn Grk “that you all say the same thing.”
- 1 Corinthians 1:10 tn Grk “that there be no divisions among you.”
- 1 Corinthians 1:10 tn Grk “that you be united in/by the same mind and in/by the same purpose.”
