Romans 8:4

8:4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Romans 5:16

5:16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification.

Romans 1:32

1:32 Although they fully know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.


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

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

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

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

tn Grk “who, knowing…, not only do them but also approve…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

tn Grk “are worthy of death.”

sn “Vice lists” like vv. 28-32 can be found elsewhere in the NT in Matt 15:19; Gal 5:19-21; 1 Tim 1:9-10; and 1 Pet 4:3. An example from the intertestamental period can be found in Wis 14:25-26.
