Paul’s Motivation for Writing the Letter

15:14 But I myself am fully convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, ¹²  that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

[2:12]  ¹ sn This is the first occurrence of law (nomos) in Romans. Exactly what Paul means by the term has been the subject of much scholarly debate. According to J. A. Fitzmyer (Romans [AB], 131-35; 305-6) there are at least four different senses: (1) figurative, as a “principle”; (2) generic, meaning “a law”; (3) as a reference to the OT or some part of the OT; and (4) as a reference to the Mosaic law. This last usage constitutes the majority of Paul’s references to “law” in Romans.

[4:11]  ² tn Grk “of the faith, the one [existing] in uncircumcision.”

[4:11]  ³ tn Grk “that he might be,” giving the purpose of v. 11a.

[4:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “through uncircumcision.”

[4:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “that it might be according to grace.”

[9:17]  ⁷ sn Paul uses a typical rabbinic formula here in which the OT scriptures are figuratively portrayed as speaking to Pharaoh. What he means is that the scripture he cites refers (or can be applied) to Pharaoh.

[9:17]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Exod 9:16.

[10:19]  ⁹ tn Grk “Israel did not ‘not know,’ did he?” The double negative in Greek has been translated as a positive affirmation for clarity (see v. 18 above for a similar situation).

[10:19]  ¹⁰ sn A quotation from Deut 32:21.

[11:17]  ¹¹ tn Grk “became a participant of.”
