[1] This form of the Syriac term is found in Acts 9:42; 11:17; 15:29; 16:15; 16:31; 18:8; Romans 5:1; 6:11, 23; 10:9; 15:30; 16:2, 8, 10-13; 16:22; 1 Corinthians 7:22, 39; 11:11; 15:31; 16:19; 2 Corinthians 11:17; Galatians 5:10; Ephesians 4:1; 5:8; 6:1, 10, 21; Philippians 2:19; 3:1; 4:1, 2, 4, 10; Colossians 4:17; 1 Thessalonians 3:8; 4:1, 2; 5:9, 12, 27; 3:4, 12; Philemon 1:20; Revelation 14:13.

[2] Here, the quotation from Isaiah probably implies a varying term in the original that might be either אדני or יהוה. But this term is also used with the more common meaning “my lord/oh, lord.” Verses with the same form of the Syriac term in the Pauline corpus are Romans 11:3; 1 Corinthians 7:10, 12; 16:7; 2 Corinthians 12:8; 13:10; Philippians 2:24; 3:8; 2 Timothy 3:11; 4:8, 17, 18; Hebrews 13:6. Compare, also, the use in 1 Peter 3:6.
