WK Translation Notes

+
a
The word "your" is uncalled for. Had more definiteness been intended it was open to the writer to have said tēn (the) or even to have added the pronoun: eis oikian is intentionally characteristic, or as we say "at home," and all the more forcible in certain cases.
b
"Greeting" is the better rendering in 10, 11. There is nothing about "God speed" in the word (chairein), though "good speed" might be tolerable. The stronger terms are merely put in by the English translators. It was the ordinary form of courteous greeting every day. "God speed," for this might give a false idea. It sounds as if we were wishing him well in his work. This would be commonly inferred by one unaccustomed to read the language of the Holy Spirit. But it conveys nothing of the sort—merely a Greek "good morning"—what would pass in the current language of the day among one’s fellows.
