Roma 15:21

15:21 but as it is written: “Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.” ²⁰ 

[1:25]  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.

[1:25]  ² tn Grk “the lie.”

[1:25]  ³ tn Or “creature, created things.”

[3:26]  ⁴ tn The words “This was” have been repeated from the previous verse to clarify that this is a continuation of that thought. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:26]  ⁵ tn Grk “toward a demonstration,” repeating and expanding the purpose of God’s action in v. 25a.

[3:26]  ⁶ tn Or “righteous.”

[3:26]  ⁷ tn Or “of the one who has faith in Jesus.” See note on “faithfulness of Jesus Christ” in v. 22 for the rationale behind the translation “Jesus’ faithfulness.”

[6:21]  ⁸ tn Grk “fruit.”

[6:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “have,” in a tense emphasizing their customary condition in the past.

[7:2]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the,” with the article used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[7:2]  ¹¹ tn Grk “husband.”

[7:2]  sn Paul’s example of the married woman and the law of the marriage illustrates that death frees a person from obligation to the law. Thus, in spiritual terms, a person who has died to what controlled us (v. 6) has been released from the law to serve God in the new life produced by the Spirit.

[8:34]  ¹² tc ‡ A number of significant and early witnesses, along with several others (Ì^46vid א A C F G L Ψ 6 33 81 104 365 1505 al lat bo), read ᾿Ιησοῦς (Ihsous, “Jesus”) after Χριστός (Cristos, “Christ”) in v. 34. But the shorter reading is not unrepresented (B D 0289 1739 1881 Ï sa). Once ᾿Ιησοῦς got into the text, what scribe would omit it? Although the external evidence is on the side of the longer reading, internally such an expansion seems suspect. The shorter reading is thus preferred. NA²⁷ has the word in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

[8:34]  tn Grk “who also.”

[9:8]  ¹³ tn Grk “That is,” or “That is to say.”

[9:8]  ¹⁴ tn Because it forms the counterpoint to “the children of promise” the expression “children of the flesh” has been retained in the translation.

[9:8]  sn The expression the children of the flesh refers to the natural offspring.

[9:21]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “Or does not the potter have authority over the clay to make from the same lump.”

[9:21]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “one vessel for honor and another for dishonor.”

[10:6]  ¹⁷ sn A quotation from Deut 9:4.

[10:6]  ¹⁸ sn A quotation from Deut 30:12.

[13:2]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “the authority,” referring to the authority just described.

[15:21]  ²⁰ sn A quotation from Isa 52:15.
