Roma 1:16

The Power of the Gospel

1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ¹ 

Roma 1:19

1:19 because what can be known about God is plain to them, ²  because God has made it plain to them.

Roma 3:26

3:26 This was ³  also to demonstrate ⁴  his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just ⁵  and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness. ⁶ 

Roma 14:22

14:22 The faith ⁷  you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.

[1:16]  ¹ sn Here the Greek refers to anyone who is not Jewish.

[1:19]  ² tn Grk “is manifest to/in them.”

[3:26]  ³ tn The words “This was” have been repeated from the previous verse to clarify that this is a continuation of that thought. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:26]  ⁴ tn Grk “toward a demonstration,” repeating and expanding the purpose of God’s action in v. 25a.

[3:26]  ⁵ tn Or “righteous.”

[3:26]  ⁶ tn Or “of the one who has faith in Jesus.” See note on “faithfulness of Jesus Christ” in v. 22 for the rationale behind the translation “Jesus’ faithfulness.”

[14:22]  ⁷ tc ‡ Several important Alexandrian witnesses (א A B C 048) have the relative pronoun ἥν ({hn, “the faith that you have”) at this juncture, but D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï lat co lack it. Without the pronoun, the clause is more ambiguous (either “Keep the faith [that] you have between yourself and God” or “Do you have faith? Keep it between yourself and God”). The pronoun thus looks to be a motivated reading, created to clarify the meaning of the text. Even though it is found in the better witnesses, in this instance internal evidence should be given preference. NA²⁷ places the word in brackets, indicating some doubt as to its authenticity.
