Romans 6:19

6:19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) ¹  For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

Galatians 3:15

Inheritance Comes from Promises and not Law

3:15 Brothers and sisters, ²  I offer an example from everyday life: ³  When a covenant ⁴  has been ratified, ⁵  even though it is only a human contract, no one can set it aside or add anything to it.

[6:19]  ¹ tn Or “because of your natural limitations” (NRSV).

[3:15]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[3:15]  ³ tn Grk “I speak according to man,” referring to the illustration that follows.

[3:15]  ⁴ tn The same Greek word, διαθήκη (diaqhkh), can mean either “covenant” or “will,” but in this context the former is preferred here because Paul is discussing in vv. 16-18 the Abrahamic covenant.

[3:15]  ⁵ tn Or “has been put into effect.”
