Luke 14:14

14:14 Then ¹  you will be blessed, ²  because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid ³  at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Romans 2:6-10

2:6 He ⁴  will reward ⁵  each one according to his works: ⁶  2:7 eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality, 2:8 but ⁷  wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition ⁸  and do not obey the truth but follow ⁹  unrighteousness. 2:9 There will be ¹⁰  affliction and distress on everyone ¹¹  who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek, ¹²  2:10 but ¹³  glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and also the Greek.

Galatians 6:8-10

6:8 because the person who sows to his own flesh ¹⁴  will reap corruption ¹⁵  from the flesh, ¹⁶  but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 6:9 So we must not grow weary ¹⁷  in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up. ¹⁸  6:10 So then, ¹⁹  whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith. ²⁰

Hebrews 13:1

Final Exhortations

13:1 Brotherly love must continue.

Hebrews 3:11

3:11 “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’” ³⁰ 

[14:14]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate that this follows from the preceding action. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[14:14]  ² sn You will be blessed. God notes and approves of such generosity.

[14:14]  ³ sn The passive verb will be repaid looks at God’s commendation.

[2:6]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Ps 62:12; Prov 24:12; a close approximation to Matt 16:27.

[2:8]  ⁷ tn This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.

[2:8]  ⁸ tn Grk “those who [are] from selfish ambition.”

[2:8]  ⁹ tn Grk “are persuaded by, obey.”

[2:9]  ¹⁰ 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]  ¹¹ tn Grk “every soul of man.”

[2:9]  ¹² sn Paul uses the term Greek here and in v. 10 to refer to non-Jews, i.e., Gentiles.

[2:10]  ¹³ tn Grk “but even,” to emphasize the contrast. The second word has been omitted since it is somewhat redundant in English idiom.

[6:8]  ¹⁴ 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]  ¹⁵ tn Or “destruction.”

[6:8]  ¹⁶ tn See the note on the previous occurrence of the word “flesh” in this verse.

[6:9]  ¹⁷ tn Or “not become discouraged,” “not lose heart” (L&N 25.288).

[6:9]  ¹⁸ tn Or “if we do not become extremely weary,” “if we do not give out,” “if we do not faint from exhaustion” (L&N 23.79).

[6:10]  ¹⁹ tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what Paul has been arguing.

[6:10]  ²⁰ tn Grk “to those who are members of the family of [the] faith.”

[6:1]  ²¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[6:1]  ²² tn Here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense, referring to both men and women.

[6:1]  ²³ tn Or “some transgression” (L&N 88.297).

[6:1]  ²⁴ sn Who are spiritual refers to people who are controlled and directed by God’s Spirit.

[6:1]  ²⁵ tn Or “with a gentle spirit” or “gently.”

[6:1]  ²⁶ tn Grk “taking careful notice.”

[6:18]  ²⁷ tn Or “is.” No verb is stated, but a wish (“be”) rather than a declarative statement (“is”) is most likely in a concluding greeting such as this.

[6:18]  ²⁸ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[13:16]  ²⁹ tn Grk “neglect doing good and fellowship.”

[3:11]  ³⁰ tn Grk “if they shall enter my rest,” a Hebrew idiom expressing an oath that something will certainly not happen.
