Roma 7:19
Konteks7:19 For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!
Roma 11:16
Konteks11:16 If the first portion 2 of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches. 3
[3:7] 1 tn Grk “abounded unto.”
[11:16] 2 tn Grk “firstfruits,” a term for the first part of something that has been set aside and offered to God before the remainder can be used.
[11:16] 3 sn Most interpreters see Paul as making use of a long-standing metaphor of the olive tree (the root…the branches) as a symbol for Israel. See, in this regard, Jer 11:16, 19. A. T. Hanson, Studies in Paul’s Technique and Theology, 121-24, cites rabbinic use of the figure of the olive tree, and goes so far as to argue that Rom 11:17-24 is a midrash on Jer 11:16-19.
