[1:14]  ¹ tn Or “obligated.”

[2:8]  ² tn This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.

[2:8]  ³ tn Grk “those who [are] from selfish ambition.”

[2:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “are persuaded by, obey.”

[4:19]  ⁵ tc Most mss (D F G Ψ 33 1881 Ï it) read “he did not consider” by including the negative particle (οὐ, ou), but others (א A B C 6 81 365 1506 1739 pc co) lack οὐ. The reading which includes the negative particle probably represents a scribal attempt to exalt the faith of Abraham by making it appear that his faith was so strong that he did not even consider the physical facts. But “here Paul does not wish to imply that faith means closing one’s eyes to reality, but that Abraham was so strong in faith as to be undaunted by every consideration” (TCGNT 451). Both on external and internal grounds, the reading without the negative particle is preferred.

[4:19]  ⁶ tc ‡ Most witnesses (א A C D Ψ 33 Ï bo) have ἤδη (hdh, “already”) at this point in v. 19. But B F G 630 1739 1881 pc lat sa lack it. Since it appears to heighten the style of the narrative and since there is no easy accounting for an accidental omission, it is best to regard the shorter text as original. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

[5:2]  ⁷ tn Or “exult, boast.”

[5:11]  ⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:11]  ⁹ tn Or “exult, boast.”

[5:20]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “slipped in.”

[5:20]  ¹¹ tn Or “trespass.”

[9:22]  ¹² tn Grk “vessels.” This is the same Greek word used in v. 21.

[9:22]  ¹³ tn Or “vessels destined for wrath.” The genitive ὀργῆς (orghs) could be taken as a genitive of destination.

[9:22]  ¹⁴ tn Or possibly “objects of wrath that have fit themselves for destruction.” The form of the participle could be taken either as a passive or middle (reflexive). ExSyn 417-18 argues strongly for the passive sense (which is followed in the translation), stating that “the middle view has little to commend it.” First, καταρτίζω (katartizw) is nowhere else used in the NT as a direct or reflexive middle (a usage which, in any event, is quite rare in the NT). Second, the lexical force of this verb, coupled with the perfect tense, suggests something of a “done deal” (against some commentaries that see these vessels as ready for destruction yet still able to avert disaster). Third, the potter-clay motif seems to have one point: The potter prepares the clay.

[10:8]  ¹⁵ sn A quotation from Deut 30:14.

[10:20]  ¹⁶ sn A quotation from Isa 65:1.

[15:30]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.
