Notes: In the one passage in which ἔκγονος occurs in the NT (namely, OET TI1 5:4), the reference is to adult grandchildren, and in some languages this element in the meaning must be made explicit. In languages in which there is no generic term to include both ‘grandsons’ and ‘granddaughters,’ it may be necessary to translate ἔκγονος in OET TI1 5:4 as ‘grandsons or granddaughters.’
