Roma 2:12

2:12 For all who have sinned apart from the law ¹⁰  will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

[2:15]  ¹ tn Grk “who.” 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.

[2:15]  ² tn Grk “show the work of the law [to be] written,” with the words in brackets implied by the Greek construction.

[2:15]  ³ tn Or “excuse.”

[2:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “their conscience bearing witness and between the thoughts accusing or also defending one another.”

[8:33]  ⁵ sn An allusion to Isa 50:8 where the reference is singular; Paul applies this to all believers (“God’s elect” is plural here).

[2:3]  ⁶ tn Grk “do you think this,” referring to the clause in v. 3b.

[2:3]  ⁷ tn Grk “O man, the one who judges.”

[2:3]  ⁸ tn Grk “and do them.” The other words are supplied to bring out the contrast implied in this clause.

[14:13]  ⁹ tn Grk “brother.”

[2:12]  ¹⁰ sn This is the first occurrence of law (nomos) in Romans. Exactly what Paul means by the term has been the subject of much scholarly debate. According to J. A. Fitzmyer (Romans [AB], 131-35; 305-6) there are at least four different senses: (1) figurative, as a “principle”; (2) generic, meaning “a law”; (3) as a reference to the OT or some part of the OT; and (4) as a reference to the Mosaic law. This last usage constitutes the majority of Paul’s references to “law” in Romans.
