Leviticus 13:27

13:27 The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if it is spreading further ¹  on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean. It is a diseased infection. ² 

Leviticus 13:35-36

13:35 If, however, the scall spreads further ³  on the skin after his purification, 13:36 then the priest is to examine it, and if ⁴  the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair. ⁵  The person ⁶  is unclean.

Isaiah 1:5-6

Your head has a massive wound, ¹¹ 

your whole body is weak. ¹² 

1:6 From the soles of your feet to your head,

there is no spot that is unharmed. ¹³ 

There are only bruises, cuts,

and open wounds.

They have not been cleansed ¹⁴  or bandaged,

nor have they been treated ¹⁵  with olive oil. ¹⁶ 

Romans 6:12-14

6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, 6:13 and do not present your members to sin as instruments ¹⁷  to be used for unrighteousness, ¹⁸  but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments ¹⁹  to be used for righteousness. 6:14 For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

The Condemnation of the Jew

2:17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law ²³  and boast of your relationship to God ²⁴ 

[13:27]  ¹ tn Heb “is indeed spreading.”

[13:27]  ² tn For the rendering “diseased infection” see the note on v. 2 above.

[13:35]  ³ tn Heb “And if spreading (infinitive absolute) it spreads further (finite verb).” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[13:36]  ⁴ tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:36]  ⁵ tn Heb “the priest shall not search to the reddish yellow hair.”

[13:36]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the affected person) is specified in the translation for clarity (likewise in the following verse).

[38:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “there is no soundness in my flesh from before your anger.” “Anger” here refers metonymically to divine judgment, which is the practical effect of God’s anger at the psalmist’s sin.

[38:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “there is no health in my bones from before my sin.”

[1:5]  ⁹ sn In vv. 5-9 Isaiah addresses the battered nation (5-8) and speaks as their representative (9).

[1:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Why are you still beaten? [Why] do you continue rebellion?” The rhetorical questions express the prophet’s disbelief over Israel’s apparent masochism and obsession with sin. The interrogative construction in the first line does double duty in the parallelism. H. Wildberger (Isaiah, 1:18) offers another alternative by translating the two statements with one question: “Why do you still wish to be struck that you persist in revolt?”

[1:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “all the head is ill”; NRSV “the whole head is sick”; CEV “Your head is badly bruised.”

[1:5]  ¹² tn Heb “and all the heart is faint.” The “heart” here stands for bodily strength and energy, as suggested by the context and usage elsewhere (see Jer 8:18; Lam 1:22).

[1:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “there is not in it health”; NAB “there is no sound spot.”

[1:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “pressed out.”

[1:6]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “softened” (so NASB, NRSV); NIV “soothed.”

[1:6]  ¹⁶ sn This verse describes wounds like those one would receive in battle. These wounds are comprehensive and without remedy.

[6:13]  ¹⁷ tn Or “weapons, tools.”

[6:13]  ¹⁸ tn Or “wickedness, injustice.”

[6:13]  ¹⁹ tn Or “weapons, tools.”

[2:16]  ²⁰ tn The form of the Greek word is either present or future, but it is best to translate in future because of the context of future judgment.

[2:16]  ²¹ tn Grk “of people.”

[2:16]  ²² sn On my gospel cf. Rom 16:25; 2 Tim 2:8.

[2:17]  ²³ sn The law refers to the Mosaic law, described mainly in the OT books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

[2:17]  ²⁴ tn Grk “boast in God.” This may be an allusion to Jer 9:24.
