Romans 4:3-4

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn Grk “over opinions.” The qualifier “differing” has been supplied to clarify the meaning.

³ tn The term λογίζομαι (logizomai) occurs 11 times in this chapter (vv. 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 22, 23, 24). In secular usage it could (a) refer to deliberations of some sort, or (b) in commercial dealings (as virtually a technical term) to “reckoning” or “charging up a debt.” See H. W. Heidland, TDNT 4:284, 290-92.

⁴ sn A quotation from Gen 15:6.

⁵ tn Grk “not according to grace but according to obligation.”
