Introduction

1:2 up; (a-21) The word means 'receiving,' but with the prefix ( ana ) 'up,' as here, it has the active sense of 'taking up.' It is so translated except in 1 Timothy 3:16 . The more passive reception is seen in Acts 3:21 , where another word is used.

Verse 26

28:26 Go (b-1) See Isaiah 6:9-10 .

Verse 28

28:28 salvation (c-9) Rather 'that which saves' than salvation itself. see Luke 2:30 ; Luke 3:6 ; Ephesians 6:17 .
