[4:18]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:18]  ² 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]  ³ sn A quotation from Gen 17:5.

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

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

[5:13]  ⁶ tn Grk “for before the law.”

[5:13]  ⁷ tn Or “sin is not reckoned.”

[8:15]  ⁸ tn Grk “slavery again to fear.”

[8:15]  ⁹ tn The Greek term υἱοθεσία (Juioqesia) was originally a legal technical term for adoption as a son with full rights of inheritance. BDAG 1024 s.v. notes, “a legal t.t. of ‘adoption’ of children, in our lit., i.e. in Paul, only in a transferred sense of a transcendent filial relationship between God and humans (with the legal aspect, not gender specificity, as major semantic component).”

[8:15]  ¹⁰ tn Or “in that.”

[9:32]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Why? Because not by faith but as though by works.” The verb (“they pursued [it]”) is to be supplied from the preceding verse for the sake of English style; yet a certain literary power is seen in Paul’s laconic style.

[9:32]  ¹² tc Most mss, especially the later ones (א² D Ψ 33 Ï sy), read νόμου (nomou, “of the law”) here, echoing Paul’s usage in Rom 3:20, 28 and elsewhere. The qualifying phrase is lacking in א* A B F G 6 629 630 1739 1881 pc lat co. The longer reading thus is weaker externally and internally, being motivated apparently by a need to clarify.

[9:32]  tn Grk “but as by works.”

[9:32]  ¹³ tn Grk “the stone of stumbling.”

[14:13]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “brother.”

[15:12]  ¹⁵ sn A quotation from Isa 11:10.

[15:18]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “unto obedience.”
