Roma 9:7-8

9:7 nor are all the children Abraham’s true descendants; rather “through Isaac will your descendants be counted.” ¹⁵  9:8 This means ¹⁶  it is not the children of the flesh ¹⁷  who are the children of God; rather, the children of promise are counted as descendants.

[1:9]  ¹ tn Grk “whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel.”

[1:9]  ² tn Grk “as.”

[1:19]  ³ tn Grk “is manifest to/in them.”

[2:14]  ⁴ sn Gentile is a NT term for a non-Jew.

[2:14]  ⁵ tn Some (e.g. C. E. B. Cranfield, Romans [ICC], 1:135-37) take the phrase φύσει (fusei, “by nature”) to go with the preceding “do not have the law,” thus: “the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature,” that is, by virtue of not being born Jewish.

[2:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “do by nature the things of the law.”

[2:25]  ⁷ sn Circumcision refers to male circumcision as prescribed in the OT, which was given as a covenant to Abraham in Gen 17:10-14. Its importance for Judaism can hardly be overstated: According to J. D. G. Dunn (Romans [WBC], 1:120) it was the “single clearest distinguishing feature of the covenant people.” J. Marcus has suggested that the terms used for circumcision (περιτομή, peritomh) and uncircumcision (ἀκροβυστία, akrobustia) were probably derogatory slogans used by Jews and Gentiles to describe their opponents (“The Circumcision and the Uncircumcision in Rome,” NTS 35 [1989]: 77-80).

[2:25]  ⁸ tn This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.

[2:25]  ⁹ tn Grk “if you should be a transgressor of the law.”

[4:4]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “not according to grace but according to obligation.”

[6:17]  ¹¹ tn Grk “you were slaves of sin but you obeyed.”

[6:17]  ¹² tn Or “type, form.”

[7:15]  ¹³ tn Grk “but what I hate, this I do.”

[7:18]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “For to wish is present in/with me, but not to do it.”

[9:7]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “be called.” The emphasis here is upon God’s divine sovereignty in choosing Isaac as the child through whom Abraham’s lineage would be counted as opposed to Ishmael.

[9:7]  sn A quotation from Gen 21:12.

[9:8]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “That is,” or “That is to say.”

[9:8]  ¹⁷ tn Because it forms the counterpoint to “the children of promise” the expression “children of the flesh” has been retained in the translation.

[9:8]  sn The expression the children of the flesh refers to the natural offspring.

[10:8]  ¹⁸ sn A quotation from Deut 30:14.

[12:16]  ¹⁹ tn Or “but give yourselves to menial tasks.” The translation depends on whether one takes the adjective “lowly” as masculine or neuter.

[12:16]  ²⁰ tn Grk “Do not be wise in your thinking.”

[13:11]  ²¹ tn Grk “and this,” probably referring to the command to love (13:8-10); hence, “do” is implied from the previous verses.

[13:11]  ²² tn The participle εἰδότες (eidotes) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

[14:5]  ²³ tn Grk “For one judges day from day, and one judges all days.”

[16:17]  ²⁴ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.
