Roma 4:6
Konteks4:6 So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Roma 9:16
Konteks9:16 So then, 1 it does not depend on human desire or exertion, 2 but on God who shows mercy.

[9:16] 1 sn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.
[9:16] 2 tn Grk “So then, [it does] not [depend] on the one who desires nor on the one who runs.”
[14:18] 3 tn Grk “by men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is generic here (“people”) since the contrast in context is between God and humanity.
