Roma 7:8

7:8 But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. ¹  For apart from the law, sin is dead.

Roma 10:9

10:9 because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord ²  and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Roma 10:15

10:15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How timely ³  is the arrival ⁴  of those who proclaim the good news.” ⁵ 

[7:8]  ¹ tn Or “covetousness.”

[10:9]  ² tn Or “the Lord.” The Greek construction, along with the quotation from Joel 2:32 in v. 13 (in which the same “Lord” seems to be in view) suggests that κύριον (kurion) is to be taken as “the Lord,” that is, Yahweh. Cf. D. B. Wallace, “The Semantics and Exegetical Significance of the Object-Complement Construction in the New Testament,” GTJ 6 (1985): 91-112.

[10:15]  ³ tn The word in this context seems to mean “coming at the right or opportune time” (see BDAG 1103 s.v. ὡραῖος 1); it may also mean “beautiful, attractive, welcome.”

[10:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “the feet.” The metaphorical nuance of “beautiful feet” is that such represent timely news.

[10:15]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Isa 52:7; Nah 1:15.
