Roma 1:13

1:13 I do not want you to be unaware, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles. ³ 

Roma 4:9

4:9 Is this blessedness ⁴  then for ⁵  the circumcision ⁶  or also for ⁷  the uncircumcision? For we say, “faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” ⁸ 

Roma 9:4

9:4 who are Israelites. To them belong ⁹  the adoption as sons, ¹⁰  the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple worship, ¹¹  and the promises.

Roma 10:19

10:19 But again I ask, didn’t Israel understand? ¹²  First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.” ¹³ 

Roma 11:2

11:2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew! Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

Roma 11:25

11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, ¹⁴  so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel ¹⁵  until the full number ¹⁶  of the Gentiles has come in.

[1:13]  ¹ sn The expression “I do not want you to be unaware [Grk ignorant]” also occurs in 1 Cor 10:1; 12:1; 1 Thess 4:13. Paul uses the phrase to signal that he is about to say something very important.

[1:13]  ² tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).

[1:13]  ³ tn Grk “in order that I might have some fruit also among you just as also among the rest of the Gentiles.”

[4:9]  ⁴ tn Or “happiness.”

[4:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “upon.”

[4:9]  ⁶ sn See the note on “circumcision” in 2:25.

[4:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “upon.”

[4:9]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Gen 15:6.

[9:4]  ⁹ tn Grk “of whom.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[9:4]  ¹⁰ tn The Greek term υἱοθεσία (Juioqesia) was originally a legal technical term for adoption as a son with full rights of inheritance. BDAG 1024 s.v. notes, “a legal t.t. of ‘adoption’ of children, in our lit., i.e. in Paul, only in a transferred sense of a transcendent filial relationship between God and humans (with the legal aspect, not gender specificity, as major semantic component).” Although some modern translations remove the filial sense completely and render the term merely “adoption” (cf. NAB, ESV), the retention of this component of meaning was accomplished in the present translation by the phrase “as sons.”

[9:4]  ¹¹ tn Or “cultic service.”

[10:19]  ¹² tn Grk “Israel did not ‘not know,’ did he?” The double negative in Greek has been translated as a positive affirmation for clarity (see v. 18 above for a similar situation).

[10:19]  ¹³ sn A quotation from Deut 32:21.

[11:25]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

[11:25]  ¹⁵ tn Or “Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.”

[11:25]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “fullness.”
