WK Translation Notes

a
An effort has been made to translate the word "thankworthy" here as in {vi 25179-25181}{/vi}. But this seems short-sighted, because there is no "to you" here as there, which makes a sensible difference. We can readily perceive the propriety of "thanks to you," where "grace to you" could not stand. The KJV renders it "acceptable," and this is a fair sense in this place, and capable of defense. But it appears to me simpler and more forcible to adhere to the ordinary meaning, bearing in mind of course that it is not grace as in God which is in question, but the answer to it in those who believe. They were in this and in their measure imitators of God as beloved children, and walking in love as Christ loved them.
