Roma 5:9

5:9 Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous ⁵  by his blood, ⁶  we will be saved through him from God’s wrath. ⁷ 

[1:18]  ¹ tn The genitive ἀνθρώπων could be taken as an attributed genitive, in which case the phase should be translated “against all ungodly and unrighteous people” (cf. “the truth of God” in v. 25 which is also probably an attributed genitive). C. E. B. Cranfield takes the section 1:18-32 to refer to all people (not just Gentiles), while 2:1-3:20 points out that the Jew is no exception (Romans [ICC], 1:104-6; 1:137-38).

[1:18]  ² tn “Their” is implied in the Greek, but is supplied because of English style.

[1:18]  ³ tn Or “by means of unrighteousness.” Grk “in (by) unrighteousness.”

[4:15]  ⁴ tn Or “violation.”

[5:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “having now been declared righteous.” The participle δικαιωθέντες (dikaiwqente") has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

[5:9]  ⁶ tn Or, according to BDF §219.3, “at the price of his blood.”

[5:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “the wrath,” referring to God’s wrath as v. 10 shows.
