Roma 3:18

3:18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” ¹ 

Roma 4:8

4:8 blessed is the one ²  against whom the Lord will never count ³  sin.” ⁴ 

Roma 6:16

6:16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves ⁵  as obedient slaves, ⁶  you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness? ⁷ 

[3:18]  ¹ sn A quotation from Ps 36:1.

[4:8]  ² tn The word for “man” or “individual” here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which often means “male” or “man (as opposed to woman).” However, as BDAG 79 s.v. 2 says, here it is “equivalent to τὶς someone, a person.”

[4:8]  ³ tn The verb translated “count” here is λογίζομαι (logizomai). It occurs eight times in Rom 4:1-12, including here, each time with the sense of “place on someone’s account.” By itself the word is neutral, but in particular contexts it can take on a positive or negative connotation. The other occurrences of the verb have been translated using a form of the English verb “credit” because they refer to a positive event: the application of righteousness to the individual believer. The use here in v. 8 is negative: the application of sin. A form of the verb “credit” was not used here because of the positive connotations associated with that English word, but it is important to recognize that the same concept is used here as in the other occurrences.

[4:8]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 32:1-2.

[6:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “to whom you present yourselves.”

[6:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “as slaves for obedience.” See the note on the word “slave” in 1:1.

[6:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “either of sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness.”
