[14:21]  ¹ tc A large number of mss, some of them quite important (Ì^46vid א² B D F G Ψ 0209 33 1881 Ï lat sa), read “or to be offended or to be made weak” after “to stumble.” The shorter reading “to stumble” is found only in Alexandrian mss (א* A C 048 81 945 1506 1739 pc bo). Although external evidence favors inclusion, internal evidence points to a scribal expansion, perhaps reminiscent of 1 Cor 8:11-13. The shorter reading is therefore preferred.

[15:18]  ² tn Grk “unto obedience.”

[9:11]  ³ tn Grk “God’s purpose according to election.”

[9:11]  ⁴ tn Or “not based on works but based on…”

[9:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “by the one who calls.”

[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.

[11:35]  ⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:35]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:35]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Job 41:11.

[14:20]  ⁶ sn Here clean refers to food being ceremonially clean.

[3:27]  ⁷ tn Although a number of interpreters understand the “boasting” here to refer to Jewish boasting, others (e.g. C. E. B. Cranfield, “‘The Works of the Law’ in the Epistle to the Romans,” JSNT 43 [1991]: 96) take the phrase to refer to all human boasting before God.

[3:27]  ⁸ tn Grk “By what sort of law?”

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

[8:35]  ⁹ tn Here “sword” is a metonymy that includes both threats of violence and acts of violence, even including death (although death is not necessarily the only thing in view here).
