[6:16]  ¹ tn Grk “to whom you present yourselves.”

[6:16]  ² tn Grk “as slaves for obedience.” See the note on the word “slave” in 1:1.

[6:16]  ³ tn Grk “either of sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness.”

In this case the activity is sin, and the translation “payoff” captures this thought. See also L&N 89.42.

[8:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “are about to, are certainly going to.”

[8:13]  ⁶ sn This remark is parenthetical to Paul’s argument.
