Mark 12:10

12:10 Have you not read this scripture:

‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. ¹ 

Mark 15:28

15:28 [[EMPTY]] ² 

Luke 4:21

4:21 Then ³  he began to tell them, “Today ⁴  this scripture has been fulfilled even as you heard it being read.” ⁵ 

Acts 1:16

1:16 “Brothers, ⁶  the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through ⁷  David concerning Judas – who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus –

Romans 9:17

9:17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh: ⁸  “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may demonstrate my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.” ⁹ 

Romans 11:2

11:2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew! Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

Galatians 3:8-10

3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, ¹⁰  saying, “All the nations ¹¹  will be blessed in you.” ¹²  3:9 So then those who believe ¹³  are blessed along with Abraham the believer. 3:10 For all who ¹⁴  rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law.” ¹⁵ 

Galatians 3:22

3:22 But the scripture imprisoned ¹⁶  everything and everyone ¹⁷  under sin so that the promise could be given – because of the faithfulness ¹⁸  of Jesus Christ – to those who believe.

Galatians 3:2

3:2 The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law ¹⁹  or by believing what you heard? ²⁰ 

Galatians 3:16

3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. ²¹  Scripture ²²  does not say, “and to the descendants,” ²³  referring to many, but “and to your descendant,” ²⁴  referring to one, who is Christ.

Galatians 3:1

Justification by Law or by Faith?

3:1 You ²⁵  foolish Galatians! Who has cast a spell ²⁶  on you? Before your eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed ²⁷  as crucified!

Galatians 2:6

2:6 But from those who were influential ²⁸  (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people ²⁹ ) – those influential leaders ³⁰  added ³¹  nothing to my message. ³² 

[12:10]  ¹ tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.

[15:28]  ² tc Most later mss add 15:28 “And the scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘He was counted with the lawless ones.’” Verse 28 is included in L Θ 083 0250 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat, but is lacking in important Alexandrian and Western mss and some others (א A B C D Ψ pc). The addition of the verse with its quotation from Isa 53:12 probably represents a scribal assimilation from Luke 22:37. It was almost certainly not an original part of Mark’s Gospel. The present translation follows NA²⁷ in omitting the verse number, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations.

[4:21]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[4:21]  ⁴ sn See the note on today in 2:11.

[4:21]  ⁵ tn Grk “in your hearing.”

[1:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “Men brothers.” In light of the compound phrase ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί (andre" adelfoi, “Men brothers”) Peter’s words are best understood as directly addressed to the males present, possibly referring specifically to the twelve (really ten at this point – eleven minus the speaker, Peter) mentioned by name in v. 13.

[1:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “foretold by the mouth of.”

[9:17]  ⁸ sn Paul uses a typical rabbinic formula here in which the OT scriptures are figuratively portrayed as speaking to Pharaoh. What he means is that the scripture he cites refers (or can be applied) to Pharaoh.

[9:17]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Exod 9:16.

[3:8]  ¹⁰ tn For the Greek verb προευαγγελίζομαι (proeuangelizomai) translated as “proclaim the gospel ahead of time,” compare L&N 33.216.

[3:8]  ¹¹ tn The same plural Greek word, τὰ ἔθνη (ta eqnh), can be translated as “nations” or “Gentiles.”

[3:8]  ¹² sn A quotation from Gen 12:3; 18:18.

[3:9]  ¹³ tn Grk “those who are by faith,” with the Greek expression “by faith” (ἐκ πίστεως, ek pistew") the same as the expression in v. 8.

[3:10]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “For as many as.”

[3:10]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things written in the book of the law, to do them.”

[3:22]  ¹⁶ tn Or “locked up.”

[3:22]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “imprisoned all things” but τὰ πάντα (ta panta) includes people as part of the created order. Because people are the emphasis of Paul’s argument ( “given to those who believe” at the end of this verse.), “everything and everyone” was used here.

[3:22]  ¹⁸ tn Or “so that the promise could be given by faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.” A decision is difficult here. Though traditionally translated “faith in Jesus Christ,” an increasing number of NT scholars are arguing that πίστις Χριστοῦ (pisti" Cristou) and similar phrases in Paul (here and in Rom 3:22, 26; Gal 2:16, 20; Eph 3:12; Phil 3:9) involve a subjective genitive and mean “Christ’s faith” or “Christ’s faithfulness” (cf., e.g., G. Howard, “The ‘Faith of Christ’,” ExpTim 85 [1974]: 212-15; R. B. Hays, The Faith of Jesus Christ [SBLDS]; Morna D. Hooker, “Πίστις Χριστοῦ,” NTS 35 [1989]: 321-42). Noteworthy among the arguments for the subjective genitive view is that when πίστις takes a personal genitive it is almost never an objective genitive (cf. Matt 9:2, 22, 29; Mark 2:5; 5:34; 10:52; Luke 5:20; 7:50; 8:25, 48; 17:19; 18:42; 22:32; Rom 1:8; 12; 3:3; 4:5, 12, 16; 1 Cor 2:5; 15:14, 17; 2 Cor 10:15; Phil 2:17; Col 1:4; 2:5; 1 Thess 1:8; 3:2, 5, 10; 2 Thess 1:3; Titus 1:1; Phlm 6; 1 Pet 1:9, 21; 2 Pet 1:5). On the other hand, the objective genitive view has its adherents: A. Hultgren, “The Pistis Christou Formulations in Paul,” NovT 22 (1980): 248-63; J. D. G. Dunn, “Once More, ΠΙΣΤΙΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ,” SBL Seminar Papers, 1991, 730-44. Most commentaries on Romans and Galatians usually side with the objective view.

[3:2]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “by [the] works of [the] law,” a reference to observing the Mosaic law.

[3:2]  ²⁰ tn Grk “by [the] hearing of faith.”

[3:16]  ²¹ tn Grk “his seed,” a figurative extension of the meaning of σπέρμα (sperma) to refer to descendants (L&N 10.29).

[3:16]  ²² tn Grk “It”; the referent (the scripture) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The understood subject of the verb λέγει (legei) could also be “He” (referring to God) as the one who spoke the promise to Abraham.

[3:16]  ²³ tn Grk “to seeds.” See the note on “descendant” earlier in this verse. Here the term is plural; the use of the singular in the OT text cited later in this verse is crucial to Paul’s argument.

[3:16]  ²⁴ tn See the note on “descendant” earlier in this verse.

[3:1]  ²⁵ tn Grk “O” (an interjection used both in address and emotion). In context the following section is highly charged emotionally.

[3:1]  ²⁶ tn Or “deceived”; the verb βασκαίνω (baskainw) can be understood literally here in the sense of bewitching by black magic, but could also be understood figuratively to refer to an act of deception (see L&N 53.98 and 88.159).

[3:1]  ²⁷ tn Or “publicly placarded,” “set forth in a public proclamation” (BDAG 867 s.v. προγράφω 2).

[2:6]  ²⁸ tn Or “influential leaders.” BDAG 255 s.v. δοκέω 2.a.β has “the influential men Gal 2:2, 6b. A fuller expr. w. the same mng., w. inf. added…vss. 6a, 9.” This refers to the leadership of the Jerusalem church.

[2:6]  ²⁹ tn Grk “God does not receive the face of man,” an idiom for showing favoritism or partiality (BDAG 887-88 s.v. πρόσωπον 1.b.α; L&N 88.238).

[2:6]  ³⁰ tn Or “influential people”; here “leaders” was used rather than “people” for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy with the word “people” in the previous parenthetical remark. See also the note on the word “influential” at the beginning of this verse.

[2:6]  ³¹ tn Or “contributed.” This is the same word translated “go to ask advice from” in 1:16, but it has a different meaning here; see L&N 59.72.

[2:6]  ³² tn Or “added nothing to my authority.” Grk “added nothing to me,” with what was added (“message,” etc.) implied.
