3. Acts 4:31 tn The imperfect verb has been translated as an ingressive imperfect (“began to speak”). Logical sequencing suggests that their speaking began after they were filled with the Spirit. The prayer was answered immediately.
4. Acts 4:31 tn Or “speak God’s message.”
5. Acts 4:31 tn Or “with boldness.”
