Romans 15:14

Paul’s Motivation for Writing the Letter

15:14 But I myself am fully convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, ⁵  that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

[2:15]  ¹ tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:15]  ² tn Grk “show the work of the law [to be] written,” with the words in brackets implied by the Greek construction.

[2:15]  ³ tn Or “excuse.”

[2:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “their conscience bearing witness and between the thoughts accusing or also defending one another.”

[15:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.
