Romans 10:9

10:9 because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord ¹  and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:1

10:1 Brothers and sisters, ²  my heart’s desire and prayer to God on behalf of my fellow Israelites ³  is for their salvation.

Romans 4:15

4:15 For the law brings wrath, because where there is no law there is no transgression ⁴  either.

Revelation 2:13

2:13 ‘I know ⁵  where you live – where Satan’s throne is. Yet ⁶  you continue to cling ⁷  to my name and you have not denied your ⁸  faith in me, ⁹  even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, ¹⁰  who was killed in your city ¹¹  where Satan lives.

[10:9]  ¹ tn Or “the Lord.” The Greek construction, along with the quotation from Joel 2:32 in v. 13 (in which the same “Lord” seems to be in view) suggests that κύριον (kurion) is to be taken as “the Lord,” that is, Yahweh. Cf. D. B. Wallace, “The Semantics and Exegetical Significance of the Object-Complement Construction in the New Testament,” GTJ 6 (1985): 91-112.

[10:1]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

[10:1]  ³ tn Grk “on behalf of them”; the referent (Paul’s fellow Israelites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:15]  ⁴ tn Or “violation.”

[2:13]  ⁵ tc The shorter reading adopted here has superior ms support (א A C P 2053 al latt co), while the inclusion of “your works and” (τὰ ἔργα σου καί, ta erga sou kai) before “where you reside” is supported by the Byzantine witnesses and is evidently a secondary attempt to harmonize the passage with 2:2, 19; 3:1, 8, 15.

[2:13]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Yet” to indicate the contrast between their location and their faithful behavior.

[2:13]  ⁷ tn The present indicative verb κρατεῖς (kratei") has been translated as a progressive present.

[2:13]  ⁸ tn Grk “the faith”; here the Greek article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[2:13]  ⁹ tn Grk “the faith of me” (τὴν πίστιν μου, thn pistin mou) with the genitive “of me” (μου) functioning objectively.

[2:13]  ¹⁰ tn Or “martyr.” The Greek word μάρτυς can mean either “witness” or “martyr.”

[2:13]  ¹¹ tn Grk “killed among you.” The term “city” does not occur in the Greek text of course, but the expression παρ᾿ ὑμῖν, ὅπου ὁ σατανᾶς κατοικεῖ (par’ Jumin, {opou Jo satana" katoikei) seems to indicate that this is what is meant. See G. B. Caird, Revelation (HNTC), 36-38.
