Roma 1:7

1:7 To all those loved by God in Rome, ¹  called to be saints: ²  Grace and peace to you ³  from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Roma 1:21

1:21 For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts ⁴  were darkened.

Roma 1:28

1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, ⁵  God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. ⁶ 

Roma 3:5

3:5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates ⁷  the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? ⁸  (I am speaking in human terms.) ⁹

4:20 He ¹⁰  did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

Submission to Civil Government

13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God’s appointment, ¹²  and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

[1:7]  ² tn Although the first part of v. 7 is not a complete English sentence, it maintains the “From…to” pattern used in all the Pauline letters to indicate the sender and the recipients. Here, however, there are several intervening verses (vv. 2-6), which makes the first half of v. 7 appear as an isolated sentence fragment.

[1:7]  ³ tn Grk “Grace to you and peace.”

[1:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “heart.”

[1:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “and just as they did not approve to have God in knowledge.”

[1:28]  ⁶ tn Grk “the things that are improper.”

[3:5]  ⁷ tn Or “shows clearly.”

[3:5]  ⁸ tn Grk “That God is not unjust to inflict wrath, is he?”

[3:5]  ⁹ sn The same expression occurs in Gal 3:15, and similar phrases in Rom 6:19 and 1 Cor 9:8.

[4:20]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And he.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, δέ (de) has not been translated here.

[8:28]  ¹¹ tc ὁ θεός (Jo qeos, “God”) is found after the verb συνεργεῖ (sunergei, “work”) in v. 28 by Ì⁴⁶ A B 81 sa; the shorter reading is found in א C D F G Ψ 33 1739 1881 Ï latt sy bo. Although the inclusion is supported by a significant early papyrus, the alliance of significant Alexandrian and Western witnesses favors the shorter reading. As well, the longer reading is evidently motivated by a need for clarification. Since ὁ θεός is textually suspect, it is better to read the text without it. This leaves two good translational options: either “he works all things together for good” or “all things work together for good.” In the first instance the subject is embedded in the verb and “God” is clearly implied (as in v. 29). In the second instance, πάντα (panta) becomes the subject of an intransitive verb. In either case, “What is expressed is a truly biblical confidence in the sovereignty of God” (C. E. B. Cranfield, Romans [ICC], 1:427).

[13:1]  ¹² tn Grk “by God.”
