WK Translation Notes

a

There is ground for putting "farewell" as the marginal equivalent for "rejoice" here. The verb as a secondary meaning is used for "saluting," and so for "farewell"; but this sense is in narrow contextual bounds, as Matt. 26:49, 27:29, 28:9; ; ; ; Acts 15:23, 23:26; , and . Everywhere else it means "rejoice," or "be glad," and emphatically so in the Epistle to the Philippians where it is an evident keynote, as in 1:18, 2:17,18,28, 3:1, 4:10.
