Romans 3:31

3:31 Do we then nullify ¹  the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead ²  we uphold the law.

Romans 4:14

4:14 For if they become heirs by the law, faith is empty and the promise is nullified. ³ 

Romans 3:3

3:3 What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?

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 7:2

7:2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her ⁶  husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage. ⁷ 

Romans 7:6

7:6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died ⁸  to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code. ⁹ 

¹ tn Grk “render inoperative.”

² tn Grk “but” (Greek ἀλλά, alla).

³ tn Grk “rendered inoperative.”

⁵ tn Grk “knowing this, that.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁶ 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 tn Grk “the,” with the article used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

⁸ tn Grk “husband.”

⁹ tn Grk “having died.” The participle ἀποθανόντες (apoqanonte") has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

¹⁰ tn Grk “in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.”
