Romans 4:18

4:18 Against hope Abraham ¹  believed ²  in hope with the result that he became the father of many nations ³  according to the pronouncement, ⁴  “so will your descendants be.” ⁵ 

Romans 5:18-19

5:18 Consequently, ⁶  just as condemnation ⁷  for all people ⁸  came ⁹  through one transgression, ¹⁰  so too through the one righteous act ¹¹  came righteousness leading to life ¹²  for all people. 5:19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man ¹³  many ¹⁴  were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man ¹⁵  many ¹⁶  will be made righteous.

Romans 5:21

5:21 so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 9:20

9:20 But who indeed are you – a mere human being ¹⁷  – to talk back to God? ¹⁸  Does what is molded say to the molder, “Why have you made me like this?” ¹⁹ 

Romans 10:6

10:6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ²⁰  ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” ²¹  (that is, to bring Christ down)

Romans 11:26

11:26 And so ²²  all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion;

he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Grk “who against hope believed,” referring to Abraham. The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

³ sn A quotation from Gen 17:5.

⁴ tn Grk “according to that which had been spoken.”

⁵ sn A quotation from Gen 15:5.

⁶ 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.

⁷ tn Grk “[it is] unto condemnation for all people.”

⁸ tn Here ἀνθρώπους (anqrwpou") has been translated as a generic (“people”) since both men and women are clearly intended in this context.

⁹ tn There are no verbs in the Greek text of v. 18, forcing translators to supply phrases like “came through one transgression,” “resulted from one transgression,” etc.

¹⁰ sn One transgression refers to the sin of Adam in Gen 3:1-24.

¹¹ sn The one righteous act refers to Jesus’ death on the cross.

¹² tn Grk “righteousness of life.”

¹¹ sn Here the one man refers to Adam (cf. 5:14).

¹² tn Grk “the many.”

¹³ sn One man refers here to Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ tn Grk “the many.”

¹⁶ tn Grk “O man.”

¹⁷ tn Grk “On the contrary, O man, who are you to talk back to God?”

¹⁸ sn A quotation from Isa 29:16; 45:9.

²¹ sn A quotation from Deut 9:4.

²² sn A quotation from Deut 30:12.

²⁶ tn It is not clear whether the phrase καὶ οὕτως (kai Joutws, “and so”) is to be understood in a modal sense (“and in this way”) or in a temporal sense (“and in the end”). Neither interpretation is conclusive from a grammatical standpoint, and in fact the two may not be mutually exclusive. Some, like H. Hübner, who argue strongly against the temporal reading, nevertheless continue to give the phrase a temporal significance, saying that God will save all Israel in the end (Gottes Ich und Israel [FRLANT], 118).
