Roma 5:11

5:11 Not ¹  only this, but we also rejoice ²  in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

Roma 8:20

8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly but because of God ³  who subjected it – in hope

Roma 8:24

8:24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

Roma 9:8

9:8 This means ⁴  it is not the children of the flesh ⁵  who are the children of God; rather, the children of promise are counted as descendants.

[5:11]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:11]  ² tn Or “exult, boast.”

[8:20]  ³ tn Grk “because of the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “That is,” or “That is to say.”

[9:8]  ⁵ 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.
