Introduction
1:1 Christ, (b-5) Or, according to some authorities, 'Christ Jesus.'
Verse 1
2:1 intercessions, (g-10) Personal and confiding intercourse with God on the part of one able to approach him, as Romans 8:27 ,Romans 8:34 ; Hebrews 7:25 .
Verse 4
2:4 knowledge (h-13) Epignosis , as Colossians 1:10 , where it is translated 'true knowledge.' It is that which acknowledges the truth of a thing, and to know the truth thus suggests possession of it.

Verse 12
2:12 man, (d-15) Or 'a man.' It is in contrast with women, as in ver. 8.
Verse 14
2:14 deceived, (e-11) A strong form of the word, but scriptural Greek often adds strengthening prepositions with the force little changed. see Romans 7:11 ; Romans 16:18 ; 1 Corinthians 3:18 ; 2 Corinthians 11:3 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:3 , where the same Greek word is used.
Verse 15
2:15 holiness (f-16) Hagiasmos . See Note i at Romans 1:4 .
