Romans 1:7

1:7 To all those loved by God in Rome, ¹  called to be saints: ²  Grace and peace to you ³  from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Romans 2:4-5

2:4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know ⁴  that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? 2:5 But because of your stubbornness ⁵  and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed! ⁶ 

Romans 4:12

4:12 And he is also the father of the circumcised, ⁷  who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised. ⁸ 

Romans 4:19

4:19 Without being weak in faith, he considered ⁹  his own body as dead ¹⁰  (because he was about one hundred years old) and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

Romans 5:2

5:2 through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice ¹¹  in the hope of God’s glory.

Romans 9:25

9:25 As he also says in Hosea:

“I will call those who were not my people, ‘My people,’ and I will call her who was unloved, ¹²  ‘My beloved.’” ¹³ 

Romans 9:29

9:29 Just ¹⁴  as Isaiah predicted,

“If the Lord of armies ¹⁵  had not left us descendants,

we would have become like Sodom,

and we would have resembled Gomorrah.” ¹⁶ 

Romans 9:33

9:33 just as it is written,

“Look, I am laying in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble

and a rock that will make them fall, ¹⁷ 

yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.” ¹⁸ 

Romans 15:12

15:12 And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope.” ¹⁹ 

Romans 15:19

15:19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem even as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Romans 15:27

15:27 For they were pleased to do this, and indeed they are indebted to the Jerusalem saints. ²⁰  For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things.

Romans 16:17

16:17 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, ²¹  to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!

Romans 16:23

[1:7]  ² tn Although the first part of v. 7 is not a complete English sentence, it maintains the “From…to” pattern used in all the Pauline letters to indicate the sender and the recipients. Here, however, there are several intervening verses (vv. 2-6), which makes the first half of v. 7 appear as an isolated sentence fragment.

[1:7]  ³ tn Grk “Grace to you and peace.”

[2:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “being unaware.”

[2:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.

[2:5]  ⁸ tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

[4:12]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the father of circumcision.”

[4:12]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the ‘in-uncircumcision faith’ of our father Abraham.”

[4:19]  ¹³ tc Most mss (D F G Ψ 33 1881 Ï it) read “he did not consider” by including the negative particle (οὐ, ou), but others (א A B C 6 81 365 1506 1739 pc co) lack οὐ. The reading which includes the negative particle probably represents a scribal attempt to exalt the faith of Abraham by making it appear that his faith was so strong that he did not even consider the physical facts. But “here Paul does not wish to imply that faith means closing one’s eyes to reality, but that Abraham was so strong in faith as to be undaunted by every consideration” (TCGNT 451). Both on external and internal grounds, the reading without the negative particle is preferred.

[4:19]  ¹⁴ tc ‡ Most witnesses (א A C D Ψ 33 Ï bo) have ἤδη (hdh, “already”) at this point in v. 19. But B F G 630 1739 1881 pc lat sa lack it. Since it appears to heighten the style of the narrative and since there is no easy accounting for an accidental omission, it is best to regard the shorter text as original. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

[5:2]  ¹⁶ tn Or “exult, boast.”
