1:1 at (a-19) Lit. 'in,' as [Acts 13:1](../../../kjv/acts/13/1) ; [Revelation 2:1](../../../kjv/revelation/2/1) . Ephesus. (b-20) It may be interesting to mention that though 'at Ephesus' is found in almost all copies, many authorities would leave it out. Some, without sufficient ground, have considered it as a kind of circular. Compare [Colossians 4:16](../../../kjv/colossians/4/16) .

3:1 prisoner (b-6) Lit. 'the one in bonds.'

3:7 minister (c-6) *Diakonos* . see Note, [1 Corinthians 4:1](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/4/1) .

3:9 ages (d-19) Or 'from eternity.' literally 'from the ages;' but in the sense of the period elapsed, not 'hidden from them.'

3:11 ages, (e-7) Or 'eternal purpose.'

3:14 Christ], (f-15) Many reject the words 'of our Lord Jesus Christ.' But as they are well supported by manuscripts and the most ancient versions and fathers I have not struck them out, though disposed to think them an addition.

3:15 family (g-4) There is a distinct connection between the Greek words for Father and family.

3:21 Amen). (a-19) Ch. 3, except ver. 1, is a parenthesis.
