Romans 6:6

6:6 We know that ⁵  our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, ⁶  so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

Romans 13:11

Motivation to Godly Conduct

13:11 And do this ⁸  because we know ⁹  the time, that it is already the hour for us to awake from sleep, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers.

Romans 15:9

15:9 and thus the Gentiles glorify God for his mercy. ¹⁰  As it is written, “Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to your name.” ¹¹ 

[1:26]  ¹ tn Grk “for their females exchanged the natural function for that which is contrary to nature.” The term χρῆσις (crhsi") has the force of “sexual relations” here (L&N 23.65).

[2:3]  ² tn Grk “do you think this,” referring to the clause in v. 3b.

[2:3]  ³ tn Grk “O man, the one who judges.”

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “and do them.” The other words are supplied to bring out the contrast implied in this clause.

[6:6]  ³ tn Grk “knowing this, that.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[6:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “may be rendered ineffective, inoperative,” or possibly “may be destroyed.” The term καταργέω (katargew) has various nuances. In Rom 7:2 the wife whose husband has died is freed from the law (i.e., the law of marriage no longer has any power over her, in spite of what she may feel). A similar point seems to be made here (note v. 7).

[11:7]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “and this,” probably referring to the command to love (13:8-10); hence, “do” is implied from the previous verses.

[13:11]  ⁶ tn The participle εἰδότες (eidotes) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

[15:9]  ⁶ tn There are two major syntactical alternatives which are both awkward: (1) One could make “glorify” dependent on “Christ has become a minister” and coordinate with “to confirm” and the result would be rendered “Christ has become a minister of circumcision to confirm the promises…and so that the Gentiles might glorify God.” (2) One could make “glorify” dependent on “I tell you” and coordinate with “Christ has become a minister” and the result would be rendered “I tell you that Christ has become a minister of circumcision…and that the Gentiles glorify God.” The second rendering is preferred.
