Roma 1:25

1:25 They ¹  exchanged the truth of God for a lie ²  and worshiped and served the creation ³  rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Roma 1:28

1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, ⁴  God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. ⁵ 

Roma 2:20

2:20 an educator of the senseless, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the essential features of knowledge and of the truth –

Roma 3:5

3:5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates ⁶  the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? ⁷  (I am speaking in human terms.) ⁸ 

Roma 4:14-15

4:14 For if they become heirs by the law, faith is empty and the promise is nullified. ⁹  4:15 For the law brings wrath, because where there is no law there is no transgression ¹⁰  either.

Roma 5:8

5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Roma 5:13

5:13 for before the law was given, ¹¹  sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin ¹²  when there is no law.

Roma 8:7

8:7 because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

Roma 8:15

8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, ¹³  but you received the Spirit of adoption, ¹⁴  by whom ¹⁵  we cry, “Abba, Father.”

Roma 9:18

9:18 So then, ¹⁶  God ¹⁷  has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden. ¹⁸ 

Roma 9:20

9:20 But who indeed are you – a mere human being ¹⁹  – to talk back to God? ²⁰  Does what is molded say to the molder, “Why have you made me like this?” ²¹ 

Roma 9:32

9:32 Why not? Because they pursued ²²  it not by faith but (as if it were possible) by works. ²³  They stumbled over the stumbling stone, ²⁴ 

Roma 10:6

10:6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ²⁵  ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” ²⁶  (that is, to bring Christ down)

Roma 11:6

11:6 And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Roma 11:12

11:12 Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their defeat means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration ²⁷  bring?

Roma 12:6

12:6 And we have different gifts ²⁸  according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.

Roma 13:2

13:2 So the person who resists such authority ²⁹  resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment

Roma 14:17

14:17 For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Roma 15:8

15:8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised ³⁰  on behalf of God’s truth to confirm the promises made to the fathers, ³¹ 

Roma 15:30

15:30 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, ³²  through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf.

Roma 16:20

16:20 The God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

[1:25]  ¹ tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:25]  ² tn Grk “the lie.”

[1:25]  ³ tn Or “creature, created things.”

[1:28]  ⁴ tn Grk “and just as they did not approve to have God in knowledge.”

[1:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “the things that are improper.”

[3:5]  ⁶ tn Or “shows clearly.”

[3:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “That God is not unjust to inflict wrath, is he?”

[3:5]  ⁸ sn The same expression occurs in Gal 3:15, and similar phrases in Rom 6:19 and 1 Cor 9:8.

[4:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “rendered inoperative.”

[4:15]  ¹⁰ tn Or “violation.”

[5:13]  ¹¹ tn Grk “for before the law.”

[5:13]  ¹² tn Or “sin is not reckoned.”

[8:15]  ¹³ tn Grk “slavery again to fear.”

[8:15]  ¹⁴ 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).”

[8:15]  ¹⁵ tn Or “in that.”

[9:18]  ¹⁶ sn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.

[9:18]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:18]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.”

[9:20]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “O man.”

[9:20]  ²⁰ tn Grk “On the contrary, O man, who are you to talk back to God?”

[9:20]  ²¹ sn A quotation from Isa 29:16; 45:9.

[9:32]  ²² tn Grk “Why? Because not by faith but as though by works.” The verb (“they pursued [it]”) is to be supplied from the preceding verse for the sake of English style; yet a certain literary power is seen in Paul’s laconic style.

[9:32]  ²³ tc Most mss, especially the later ones (א² D Ψ 33 Ï sy), read νόμου (nomou, “of the law”) here, echoing Paul’s usage in Rom 3:20, 28 and elsewhere. The qualifying phrase is lacking in א* A B F G 6 629 630 1739 1881 pc lat co. The longer reading thus is weaker externally and internally, being motivated apparently by a need to clarify.

[9:32]  tn Grk “but as by works.”

[9:32]  ²⁴ tn Grk “the stone of stumbling.”

[10:6]  ²⁵ sn A quotation from Deut 9:4.

[10:6]  ²⁶ sn A quotation from Deut 30:12.

[11:12]  ²⁷ tn Or “full inclusion”; Grk “their fullness.”

[12:6]  ²⁸ tn This word comes from the same root as “grace” in the following clause; it means “things graciously given,” “grace-gifts.”

[13:2]  ²⁹ tn Grk “the authority,” referring to the authority just described.

[15:8]  ³⁰ tn Grk “of the circumcision”; that is, the Jews.

[15:8]  ³¹ tn Or “to the patriarchs.”

[15:30]  ³² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.
