- 2 Timothy 1:3 tn Grk “from my ancestors.”
- 2 Timothy 1:3 tn Or “as I do constantly. By night and day I long to see you…”
- 2 Timothy 1:4 tn Grk “longing to see you, remembering your tears” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
