[7:3] 1 sn See 2 Cor 1:4-7.
[7:3] 2 tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
[7:1] 3 tn Or “purify ourselves.”
[7:1] 4 tn Grk “from every defilement of the flesh.”
[7:1] 5 tn Grk “accomplishing.” The participle has been translated as a finite verb due to considerations of contemporary English style, and “thus” has been supplied to indicate that it represents a result of the previous cleansing.
[7:1] 6 tn Grk “in the fear of God.”
[8:1] 7 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:8.
[8:1] 8 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:8.
[34:11] 9 tn Heb “for the work of man, he [= God] repays him.”
[34:11] 10 tn Heb “he causes it to find him.” The text means that God will cause a man to find (or receive) the consequences of his actions.
[62:12] 11 tn Heb “and to you, O Master, [is] loyal love.”
[62:12] 12 tn Heb “for you pay back to a man according to his deed.” Another option is to understand vv. 11b and 12a as the first principle and v. 12b as the second. In this case one might translate, “God has declared one principle, two principles I have heard, namely, that God is strong, and you, O Lord, demonstrate loyal love, and that you repay men for what they do.”
[3:10] 13 tn Or “the righteous” (KJV, NASB, NIV, TEV); NLT “those who are godly.”
[3:10] 14 tn Heb “that it is good.”
[3:10] 15 tn Heb “for the fruit of their deeds they will eat.”
[3:11] 16 tn Heb “for the work of his hands will be done to him.”
[16:27] 17 sn An allusion to Pss 28:4; 62:12; cf. Prov 24:12.
[2:5] 18 tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.
[2:5] 19 tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”
[2:6] 20 tn Grk “who.” 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.
[2:6] 21 tn Or “will render,” “will recompense.” In this context Paul is setting up a hypothetical situation, not stating that salvation is by works.
[2:6] 22 sn A quotation from Ps 62:12; Prov 24:12; a close approximation to Matt 16:27.
[2:8] 23 tn This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.
[2:8] 24 tn Grk “those who [are] from selfish ambition.”
[2:8] 25 tn Grk “are persuaded by, obey.”
[2:9] 26 tn No verb is expressed in this verse, but the verb “to be” is implied by the Greek construction. Literally “suffering and distress on everyone…”
[2:9] 27 tn Grk “every soul of man.”
[2:9] 28 sn Paul uses the term Greek here and in v. 10 to refer to non-Jews, i.e., Gentiles.
[2:10] 29 tn Grk “but even,” to emphasize the contrast. The second word has been omitted since it is somewhat redundant in English idiom.
[2:1] 30 sn Rom 2:1-29 presents unusual difficulties for the interpreter. There have been several major approaches to the chapter and the group(s) it refers to: (1) Rom 2:14 refers to Gentile Christians, not Gentiles who obey the Jewish law. (2) Paul in Rom 2 is presenting a hypothetical viewpoint: If anyone could obey the law, that person would be justified, but no one can. (3) The reference to “the ones who do the law” in 2:13 are those who “do” the law in the right way, on the basis of faith, not according to Jewish legalism. (4) Rom 2:13 only speaks about Christians being judged in the future, along with such texts as Rom 14:10 and 2 Cor 5:10. (5) Paul’s material in Rom 2 is drawn heavily from Diaspora Judaism, so that the treatment of the law presented here cannot be harmonized with other things Paul says about the law elsewhere (E. P. Sanders, Paul, the Law, and the Jewish People, 123); another who sees Rom 2 as an example of Paul’s inconsistency in his treatment of the law is H. Räisänen, Paul and the Law [WUNT], 101-9. (6) The list of blessings and curses in Deut 27–30 provide the background for Rom 2; the Gentiles of 2:14 are Gentile Christians, but the condemnation of Jews in 2:17-24 addresses the failure of Jews as a nation to keep the law as a whole (A. Ito, “Romans 2: A Deuteronomistic Reading,” JSNT 59 [1995]: 21-37).
[2:1] 31 tn Some interpreters (e.g., C. K. Barrett, Romans [HNTC], 43) connect the inferential Διό (dio, “therefore”) with 1:32a, treating 1:32b as a parenthetical comment by Paul.
[2:1] 32 tn That is, “you have nothing to say in your own defense” (so translated by TCNT).
[2:1] 34 tn Grk “Therefore, you are without excuse, O man, everyone [of you] who judges.”
[2:1] 35 tn Grk “in/by (that) which.”
[4:5] 36 tn Grk “walk.” The verb περιπατέω (peripatew) is a common NT idiom for one’s lifestyle, behavior, or manner of conduct (L&N 41.11).
[6:7] 37 tn Or “is not mocked,” “will not be ridiculed” (L&N 33.409). BDAG 660 s.v. μυκτηρίζω has “of God οὐ μ. he is not to be mocked, treated w. contempt, perh. outwitted Gal 6:7.”
[6:7] 38 tn Here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense, referring to both men and women.
[6:8] 39 tn BDAG 915 s.v. σάρξ 2.c.α states: “In Paul’s thought esp., all parts of the body constitute a totality known as σ. or flesh, which is dominated by sin to such a degree that wherever flesh is, all forms of sin are likew. present, and no good thing can live in the σάρξ…Gal 5:13, 24;…Opp. τὸ πνεῦμα…Gal 3:3; 5:16, 17ab; 6:8ab.”
[6:8] 41 tn See the note on the previous occurrence of the word “flesh” in this verse.
[6:8] 42 sn The pronoun “this” (τοῦτο, touto) stands first in its clause for emphasis, and stresses the fact that God will reward those, who in seeking him, do good.
[3:24] 43 tn The article τῆς (ths) has been translated as a possessive pronoun, “your” (ExSyn 215). It may also be functioning to indicate a well-known concept (inheritance as eternal life). See BDAG 548 s.v. κληρονομία 3: “common in Christian usage (corresp. to the LXX) (the possession of) transcendent salvation (as the inheritance of God’s children).”
[3:24] 44 tn The genitive τῆς κληρονομίας (th" klhronomia") is a genitive of apposition: The reward consists of the inheritance.
[3:24] 45 tn The form of the term δουλεύετε (douleuete) is ambiguous; it can be read as either indicative or imperative. In favor of the indicative: (1) it seems to explain better the first part of v. 24, esp. “from the Lord” which would then read as: “because you know that you will receive your inheritance from the Lord as a reward for it is the Lord you are serving.” The “for” is supplied to make the relation explicit (it is actually added in many
[3:25] 46 tn Grk “that which he did wrong.”
[3:25] 47 tn The Greek word used here is προσωπολημψία (proswpolhmyia) and is usually translated “partiality.” It is used to describe unjust or unrighteous favoritism (Rom 2:11, Eph 6:9, Jas 2:1). When it comes to disciplining his children for their sins, God will treat all equally with no partiality.
[2:23] 48 tn Grk “her children,” but in this context a reference to this woman’s followers or disciples is more likely meant.
[2:23] 49 tn Grk “I will kill with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).
[2:23] 50 tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didwmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.”
[2:23] 51 sn This pronoun and the following one are plural in the Greek text.
[2:23] 52 tn Grk “each one of you according to your works.”
[20:12] 53 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[20:12] 54 tn Grk “another book was opened, which is of life.”
[20:12] 55 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the books being opened.
[20:12] 56 tn Grk “from the things written in the books according to their works.”
[20:13] 57 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[20:13] 58 sn Here Death is personified (cf. 1 Cor 15:55).
[22:12] 59 tn The Greek term may be translated either “pay” or “pay back” and has something of a double meaning here. However, because of the mention of “wages” (“reward,” another wordplay with two meanings) in the previous clause, the translation “pay” for ἀποδοῦναι (apodounai) was used here.
