[1:2]  ¹ tn Grk “the gospel of God, which he promised.” Because of the length and complexity of this sentence in Greek, it was divided into shorter English sentences in keeping with contemporary English style. To indicate the referent of the relative pronoun (“which”), the word “gospel” was repeated at the beginning of v. 2.

[4:4]  ² tn Grk “not according to grace but according to obligation.”

[4:15]  ³ tn Or “violation.”

[4:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “and being.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:21]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “I agree with the law that it is good.”

[8:25]  ⁶ tn Or “perseverance.”

[8:33]  ⁷ sn An allusion to Isa 50:8 where the reference is singular; Paul applies this to all believers (“God’s elect” is plural here).

[9:12]  ⁸ sn Many translations place this verse division before the phrase “not by works but by his calling” (NA²⁷/UBS⁴, NIV, NRSV, NLT, NAB). Other translations place this verse division in the same place that the translation above does (NASB, KJV, NKJV, ASV, RSV). The translation has followed the latter to avoid breaking the parenthetical statement.

[9:12]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Gen 25:23.

[10:11]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Isa 28:16.

[11:32]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “to all”; “them” has been supplied for stylistic reasons.
