Romans 2:9

2:9 There will be ¹  affliction and distress on everyone ²  who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek, ³ 

Romans 3:31

3:31 Do we then nullify ⁴  the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead ⁵  we uphold the law.

Romans 9:28

9:28 for the Lord will execute his sentence on the earth completely and quickly.” ⁶ 

[2:9]  ¹ tn No verb is expressed in this verse, but the verb “to be” is implied by the Greek construction. Literally “suffering and distress on everyone…”

[2:9]  ² tn Grk “every soul of man.”

[2:9]  ³ sn Paul uses the term Greek here and in v. 10 to refer to non-Jews, i.e., Gentiles.

[3:31]  ⁴ tn Grk “render inoperative.”

[3:31]  ⁵ tn Grk “but” (Greek ἀλλά, alla).

[9:28]  ⁷ tc In light of the interpretive difficulty of this verse, a longer reading seems to have been added to clarify the meaning. The addition, in the middle of the sentence, makes the whole verse read as follows: “For he will execute his sentence completely and quickly in righteousness, because the Lord will do it quickly on the earth.” The shorter reading is found largely in Alexandrian mss (Ì⁴⁶ א* A B 6 1506 1739 1881 pc co), while the longer reading is found principally in Western and Byzantine mss (א² D F G Ψ 33 Ï lat). The longer reading follows Isa 10:22-23 (LXX) verbatim, while Paul in the previous verse quoted the LXX loosely. This suggests the addition was made by a copyist trying to make sense out of a difficult passage rather than by the author himself.
