[4:5]  ² tn Or “who justifies the ungodly.”

[5:20]  ³ tn Grk “slipped in.”

[5:20]  ⁴ tn Or “trespass.”

[9:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “That is,” or “That is to say.”

[9:8]  ⁶ 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.
