¹ tn Grk “being unaware.”

² tn Grk “and not as through the one who sinned [is] the gift.”

³ tn The word “transgression” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

⁴ tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

⁵ tn Or “falls, trespasses,” the same word used in vv. 15, 17, 18, 20.

³ tc ‡ Most mss (א* A 1739 1881 Ï sy) read “I give thanks to God” rather than “Now thanks be to God” (א¹ [B] Ψ 33 81 104 365 1506 pc), the reading of NA²⁷. The reading with the verb (εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ, eucaristw tw qew) possibly arose from a transcriptional error in which several letters were doubled (TCGNT 455). The conjunction δέ (de, “now”) is included in some mss as well (א¹ Ψ 33 81 104 365 1506 pc), but it should probably not be considered original. The ms support for the omission of δέ is both excellent and widespread (א* A B D 1739 1881 Ï lat sy), and its addition can be explained as an insertion to smooth out the transition between v. 24 and 25.

⁴ tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.

⁵ tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

⁶ tn The words “I serve” have been repeated here for clarity.

⁴ tn Grk “God’s purpose according to election.”

⁵ tn Or “not based on works but based on…”

⁶ tn Grk “by the one who calls.”
