Romans 2:14

2:14 For whenever the Gentiles, ¹  who do not have the law, do by nature ²  the things required by the law, ³  these who do not have the law are a law to themselves.

Romans 14:22

14:22 The faith ⁴  you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.

Romans 15:23

15:23 But now there is nothing more to keep me ⁵  in these regions, and I have for many years desired ⁶  to come to you

[2:14]  ¹ sn Gentile is a NT term for a non-Jew.

[2:14]  ² tn Some (e.g. C. E. B. Cranfield, Romans [ICC], 1:135-37) take the phrase φύσει (fusei, “by nature”) to go with the preceding “do not have the law,” thus: “the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature,” that is, by virtue of not being born Jewish.

[2:14]  ³ tn Grk “do by nature the things of the law.”

[14:22]  ⁴ tc ‡ Several important Alexandrian witnesses (א A B C 048) have the relative pronoun ἥν ({hn, “the faith that you have”) at this juncture, but D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï lat co lack it. Without the pronoun, the clause is more ambiguous (either “Keep the faith [that] you have between yourself and God” or “Do you have faith? Keep it between yourself and God”). The pronoun thus looks to be a motivated reading, created to clarify the meaning of the text. Even though it is found in the better witnesses, in this instance internal evidence should be given preference. NA²⁷ places the word in brackets, indicating some doubt as to its authenticity.

[15:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “now no longer having a place…I have.”

[15:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “but having a desire…for many years.”
