Romans 2:27

2:27 And will not the physically uncircumcised man ¹  who keeps the law judge you who, despite ²  the written code ³  and circumcision, transgress the law?

Romans 7:6

7:6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died ⁴  to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code. ⁵ 

¹ tn Grk “the uncircumcision by nature.” The word “man” is supplied here to make clear that male circumcision (or uncircumcision) is in view.

² tn Grk “through,” but here the preposition seems to mean “(along) with,” “though provided with,” as BDAG 224 s.v. διά A.3.c indicates.

³ tn Grk “letter.”

⁴ tn Grk “having died.” The participle ἀποθανόντες (apoqanonte") has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

⁵ tn Grk “in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.”
