Romans 2:27

2:27 And will not the physically uncircumcised man ¹  who keeps the law judge you who, despite ²  the written code ³  and circumcision, transgress the law?

Romans 13:6

13:6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities ⁴  are God’s servants devoted to governing. ⁵ 

[2:27]  ¹ tn Grk “the uncircumcision by nature.” The word “man” is supplied here to make clear that male circumcision (or uncircumcision) is in view.

[2:27]  ² tn Grk “through,” but here the preposition seems to mean “(along) with,” “though provided with,” as BDAG 224 s.v. διά A.3.c indicates.

[2:27]  ³ tn Grk “letter.”

[13:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the governing authorities) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “devoted to this very thing.”
