[1:12]  ¹ tn Grk “that is, to be comforted together with you through the faith in one another.”

[3:30]  ² tn Grk “but if indeed God is one.”

[5:9]  ³ tn Grk “having now been declared righteous.” The participle δικαιωθέντες (dikaiwqente") has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

[5:9]  ⁴ tn Or, according to BDF §219.3, “at the price of his blood.”

[5:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “the wrath,” referring to God’s wrath as v. 10 shows.

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “we will certainly also of his resurrection.”

[7:11]  ⁵ tn Or “and through it killed me.”

[8:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “think on” or “are intent on” (twice in this verse). What is in view here is not primarily preoccupation, however, but worldview. Translations like “set their mind on” could be misunderstood by the typical English reader to refer exclusively to preoccupation.

[9:1]  ⁷ sn Rom 9:1–11:36. These three chapters are among the most difficult and disputed in Paul’s Letter to the Romans. One area of difficulty is the relationship between Israel and the church, especially concerning the nature and extent of Israel’s election. Many different models have been constructed to express this relationship. For a representative survey, see M. Barth, The People of God (JSNTSup), 22-27. The literary genre of these three chapters has been frequently identified as a diatribe, a philosophical discussion or conversation evolved by the Cynic and Stoic schools of philosophy as a means of popularizing their ideas (E. Käsemann, Romans, 261 and 267). But other recent scholars have challenged the idea that Rom 9–11 is characterized by diatribe. Scholars like R. Scroggs and E. E. Ellis have instead identified the material in question as midrash. For a summary and discussion of the rabbinic connections, see W. R. Stegner, “Romans 9.6-29 – A Midrash,” JSNT 22 (1984): 37-52.
