Roma 1:32

1:32 Although they fully know ¹  God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, ²  they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them. ³

Roma 8:13

8:13 (for if you live according to the flesh, you will ¹⁰  die), ¹¹  but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

[1:32]  ¹ tn Grk “who, knowing…, not only do them but also approve…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:32]  ² tn Grk “are worthy of death.”

[1:32]  ³ sn “Vice lists” like vv. 28-32 can be found elsewhere in the NT in Matt 15:19; Gal 5:19-21; 1 Tim 1:9-10; and 1 Pet 4:3. An example from the intertestamental period can be found in Wis 14:25-26.

[4:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “who against hope believed,” referring to Abraham. 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.

[4:18]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Gen 17:5.

[4:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “according to that which had been spoken.”

[4:18]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Gen 15:5.

[8:5]  ⁹ tn Grk “think on” or “are intent on” (twice in this verse). What is in view here is not primarily preoccupation, however, but worldview. Translations like “set their mind on” could be misunderstood by the typical English reader to refer exclusively to preoccupation.

[8:13]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “are about to, are certainly going to.”

[8:13]  ¹¹ sn This remark is parenthetical to Paul’s argument.
