WK Translation Notes

a
The common reading "we are persuaded" pepoithamen has numerous support, but of inferior antiquity and weight as compared with peithometha "persuade ourselves," which is more suited to a subjective state.
b
Or, "honorably." "Honorably" or "rightly" is better than "honestly" as now limited in English.
