[2:29]  1 sn On circumcision is of the heart see Lev 26:41; Deut 10:16; Jer 4:4; Ezek 44:9.

[2:29]  2 tn Some have taken the phrase ἐν πνεύματι (en pneumati, “by/in [the] S/spirit”) not as a reference to the Holy Spirit, but referring to circumcision as “spiritual and not literal” (RSV).

[2:29]  3 tn Grk “letter.”

[2:29]  4 tn Grk “whose.” The relative pronoun has been replaced by the phrase “this person’s” and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started in the translation.

[4:2]  5 tn Or “was justified.”

[8:37]  9 tn BDAG 1034 s.v. ὑπερνικάω states, “as a heightened form of νικᾶν prevail completely ὑπερνικῶμεν we are winning a most glorious victory Ro 8:37.”

[8:37]  10 tn Here the referent could be either God or Christ, but in v. 39 it is God’s love that is mentioned.

[9:7]  13 tn Grk “be called.” The emphasis here is upon God’s divine sovereignty in choosing Isaac as the child through whom Abraham’s lineage would be counted as opposed to Ishmael.

[10:2]  17 tn Grk “they have a zeal for God.”

[10:2]  18 tn Grk “in accord with knowledge.”

[2:13]  21 tn The Greek sentence expresses this contrast more succinctly than is possible in English. Grk “For not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.”

[9:32]  25 tn Grk “Why? Because not by faith but as though by works.” The verb (“they pursued [it]”) is to be supplied from the preceding verse for the sake of English style; yet a certain literary power is seen in Paul’s laconic style.

[9:32]  26 tc Most mss, especially the later ones (א2 D Ψ 33 Ï sy), read νόμου (nomou, “of the law”) here, echoing Paul’s usage in Rom 3:20, 28 and elsewhere. The qualifying phrase is lacking in א* A B F G 6 629 630 1739 1881 pc lat co. The longer reading thus is weaker externally and internally, being motivated apparently by a need to clarify.

[9:32]  27 tn Grk “the stone of stumbling.”

[10:16]  29 sn A quotation from Isa 53:1.

[1:21]  33 tn Grk “heart.”

[4:20]  37 tn Grk “And he.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, δέ (de) has not been translated here.

[7:15]  41 tn Grk “but what I hate, this I do.”

[9:11]  45 tn Grk “God’s purpose according to election.”

[9:11]  46 tn Or “not based on works but based on…”

[9:11]  47 tn Grk “by the one who calls.”

[5:15]  49 tn Grk “but not as the transgression, so also [is] the gracious gift.”

[5:15]  50 sn Here the one man refers to Adam (cf. 5:14).
