[6:5]  ¹ tn Grk “we will certainly also of his resurrection.”

[8:10]  ¹ tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

[8:10]  ² tn Or “life-giving.” Grk “the Spirit is life.”

[8:17]  ¹ tn Grk “on the one hand, heirs of God; on the other hand, fellow heirs with Christ.” Some prefer to render v. 17 as follows: “And if children, then heirs – that is, heirs of God. Also fellow heirs with Christ if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.” Such a translation suggests two distinct inheritances, one coming to all of God’s children, the other coming only to those who suffer with Christ. The difficulty of this view, however, is that it ignores the correlative conjunctions μέν…δέ (men…de, “on the one hand…on the other hand”): The construction strongly suggests that the inheritances cannot be separated since both explain “then heirs.” For this reason, the preferred translation puts this explanation in parentheses.

[11:12]  ¹ tn Or “full inclusion”; Grk “their fullness.”
