3:8 And why not say, “Let us do evil so that good may come of it”? – as some who slander us allege that we say. ¹  (Their ²  condemnation is deserved!)

Romans 3:1

3:1 Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?

2:9 There will be ³  affliction and distress on everyone ⁴  who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek, ⁵ 

¹ tn Grk “(as we are slandered and some affirm that we say…).”

² tn Grk “whose.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, this relative clause was rendered as a new sentence in the translation.

³ tn No verb is expressed in this verse, but the verb “to be” is implied by the Greek construction. Literally “suffering and distress on everyone…”

⁴ tn Grk “every soul of man.”

⁵ sn Paul uses the term Greek here and in v. 10 to refer to non-Jews, i.e., Gentiles.
