Romans 8:10

8:10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but ¹  the Spirit is your life ²  because of righteousness.

Romans 8:38

8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, ³  nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,

Romans 11:15

11:15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

¹ tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

² tn Or “life-giving.” Grk “the Spirit is life.”

³ tn BDAG 138 s.v. ἀρχή 6 takes this term as a reference to angelic or transcendent powers (as opposed to merely human rulers). To clarify this, the adjective “heavenly” has been supplied in the translation. Some interpreters see this as a reference to fallen angels or demonic powers, and this view is reflected in some recent translations (NIV, NLT).
