Roma 15:19-20

15:19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem even as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 15:20 And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person’s foundation,

Roma 16:19

16:19 Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

¹ tn The genitive ἀνθρώπων could be taken as an attributed genitive, in which case the phase should be translated “against all ungodly and unrighteous people” (cf. “the truth of God” in v. 25 which is also probably an attributed genitive). C. E. B. Cranfield takes the section 1:18-32 to refer to all people (not just Gentiles), while 2:1-3:20 points out that the Jew is no exception (Romans [ICC], 1:104-6; 1:137-38).

² tn “Their” is implied in the Greek, but is supplied because of English style.

³ tn Or “by means of unrighteousness.” Grk “in (by) unrighteousness.”

⁴ tn The form of the Greek word is either present or future, but it is best to translate in future because of the context of future judgment.

⁵ tn Grk “of people.”

⁶ sn On my gospel cf. Rom 16:25; 2 Tim 2:8.

⁷ tn Or “detest.”

⁸ tn Grk “(as we are slandered and some affirm that we say…).”

⁹ tn Grk “whose.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, this relative clause was rendered as a new sentence in the translation.
