Roma 15:9

15:9 and thus the Gentiles glorify God for his mercy. ¹  As it is written, “Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to your name.” ² 

Roma 15:27

15:27 For they were pleased to do this, and indeed they are indebted to the Jerusalem saints. ³  For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things.

[15:9]  ¹ tn There are two major syntactical alternatives which are both awkward: (1) One could make “glorify” dependent on “Christ has become a minister” and coordinate with “to confirm” and the result would be rendered “Christ has become a minister of circumcision to confirm the promises…and so that the Gentiles might glorify God.” (2) One could make “glorify” dependent on “I tell you” and coordinate with “Christ has become a minister” and the result would be rendered “I tell you that Christ has become a minister of circumcision…and that the Gentiles glorify God.” The second rendering is preferred.

[15:9]  ² sn A quotation from Ps 18:49.

[15:27]  ³ tn Grk “to them”; the referent (the Jerusalem saints) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
