Romans 2:8

2:8 but ¹  wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition ²  and do not obey the truth but follow ³  unrighteousness.

Romans 7:22

7:22 For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.

Romans 6:6

6:6 We know that ⁴  our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, ⁵  so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

Romans 10:21

10:21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!” ⁶ 

Romans 11:25

11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, ⁷  so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel ⁸  until the full number ⁹  of the Gentiles has come in.

¹ tn This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.

² tn Grk “those who [are] from selfish ambition.”

³ tn Grk “are persuaded by, obey.”

⁴ tn Grk “knowing this, that.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁵ tn Grk “may be rendered ineffective, inoperative,” or possibly “may be destroyed.” The term καταργέω (katargew) has various nuances. In Rom 7:2 the wife whose husband has died is freed from the law (i.e., the law of marriage no longer has any power over her, in spite of what she may feel). A similar point seems to be made here (note v. 7).

⁷ sn A quotation from Isa 65:2.

¹⁰ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

¹¹ tn Or “Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.”

¹² tn Grk “fullness.”
