WK Translation Notes

a
The Revisers accept the reading adikoumenoi (harm). But will the reading even if feasible on so slender a basis, bear the version?
b
"In the day time" is a questionable reading of en iymera (in day) in this connection, and is hardly consistent with tryphēn, delicacy or indulgence of life, which might be by day quite as much as by night. Hence interpreters who differ widely in general prefer "ephemeral."
c
Or, "deceits." In this verse there is another singular choice of reading what is the right word, a few MSS. have apatais (deceits) against the overwhelming evidence of most MSS. for agapais (love feasts) followed by the KJV. Compare {vi 30685}{/vi}.
