Roma 2:8

2:8 but ⁴  wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition ⁵  and do not obey the truth but follow ⁶  unrighteousness.

[1:32]  ¹ tn Grk “who, knowing…, not only do them but also approve…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:32]  ² tn Grk “are worthy of death.”

[1:32]  ³ sn “Vice lists” like vv. 28-32 can be found elsewhere in the NT in Matt 15:19; Gal 5:19-21; 1 Tim 1:9-10; and 1 Pet 4:3. An example from the intertestamental period can be found in Wis 14:25-26.

[2:8]  ⁴ tn This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.

[2:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “those who [are] from selfish ambition.”

[2:8]  ⁶ tn Grk “are persuaded by, obey.”
