Roma 1:5
Konteks1:5 Through him 1 we have received grace and our apostleship 2 to bring about the obedience 3 of faith 4 among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name.
Roma 9:23
Konteks9:23 And what if he is willing to make known the wealth of his glory on the objects 5 of mercy that he has prepared beforehand for glory –
[1:5] 1 tn Grk “through whom.”
[1:5] 2 tn Some interpreters understand the phrase “grace and apostleship” as a hendiadys, translating “grace [i.e., gift] of apostleship.” The pronoun “our” is supplied in the translation to clarify the sense of the statement.
[1:5] 3 tn Grk “and apostleship for obedience.”
[1:5] 4 tn The phrase ὑπακοὴν πίστεως has been variously understood as (1) an objective genitive (a reference to the Christian faith, “obedience to [the] faith”); (2) a subjective genitive (“the obedience faith produces [or requires]”); (3) an attributive genitive (“believing obedience”); or (4) as a genitive of apposition (“obedience, [namely] faith”) in which “faith” further defines “obedience.” These options are discussed by C. E. B. Cranfield, Romans (ICC), 1:66. Others take the phrase as deliberately ambiguous; see D. B. Garlington, “The Obedience of Faith in the Letter to the Romans: Part I: The Meaning of ὑπακοὴ πίστεως (Rom 1:5; 16:26),” WTJ 52 (1990): 201-24.
[9:23] 5 tn Grk “vessels.” This is the same Greek word used in v. 21.
