Roma 3:8

3:8 And why not say, “Let us do evil so that good may come of it”? – as some who slander us allege that we say. ²  (Their ³  condemnation is deserved!)

Roma 4:5

4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, ⁴  his faith is credited as righteousness.

Roma 5:16

5:16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned. ¹¹  For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, ¹²  led to condemnation, but ¹³  the gracious gift from the many failures ¹⁴  led to justification.

5:21 so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Roma 11:8

11:8 as it is written,

eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear,

to this very day.” ¹⁷ 

Roma 11:20

Roma 14:14

14:14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean.

Roma 16:26

16:26 but now is disclosed, and through the prophetic scriptures has been made known to all the nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith –

[1:16]  ¹ sn Here the Greek refers to anyone who is not Jewish.

[3:8]  ² tn Grk “(as we are slandered and some affirm that we say…).”

[3:8]  ³ tn Grk “whose.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, this relative clause was rendered as a new sentence in the translation.

[4:5]  ⁴ tn Or “who justifies the ungodly.”

[4:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “who against hope believed,” referring to Abraham. The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:18]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Gen 17:5.

[4:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “according to that which had been spoken.”

[4:18]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Gen 15:5.

[5:2]  ¹⁰ tn Or “exult, boast.”

[5:16]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and not as through the one who sinned [is] the gift.”

[5:16]  ¹² tn The word “transgression” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

[5:16]  ¹³ tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

[5:16]  ¹⁴ tn Or “falls, trespasses,” the same word used in vv. 15, 17, 18, 20.

[8:34]  ¹⁵ tc ‡ A number of significant and early witnesses, along with several others (Ì^46vid א A C F G L Ψ 6 33 81 104 365 1505 al lat bo), read ᾿Ιησοῦς (Ihsous, “Jesus”) after Χριστός (Cristos, “Christ”) in v. 34. But the shorter reading is not unrepresented (B D 0289 1739 1881 Ï sa). Once ᾿Ιησοῦς got into the text, what scribe would omit it? Although the external evidence is on the side of the longer reading, internally such an expansion seems suspect. The shorter reading is thus preferred. NA²⁷ has the word in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

[8:34]  tn Grk “who also.”

[9:7]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “be called.” The emphasis here is upon God’s divine sovereignty in choosing Isaac as the child through whom Abraham’s lineage would be counted as opposed to Ishmael.

[9:7]  sn A quotation from Gen 21:12.

[11:8]  ¹⁷ sn A quotation from Deut 29:4; Isa 29:10.

[11:20]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “well!”, an adverb used to affirm a statement. It means “very well,” “you are correct.”
