Romans 5:13

5:13 for before the law was given, ¹  sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin ²  when there is no law.

Romans 14:22

14:22 The faith ³  you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.

Romans 16:17

16:17 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, ⁴  to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!

Romans 1:27

1:27 and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women ⁵  and were inflamed in their passions ⁶  for one another. Men ⁷  committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

[5:13]  ¹ tn Grk “for before the law.”

[5:13]  ² tn Or “sin is not reckoned.”

[14:22]  ³ tc ‡ Several important Alexandrian witnesses (א A B C 048) have the relative pronoun ἥν ({hn, “the faith that you have”) at this juncture, but D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï lat co lack it. Without the pronoun, the clause is more ambiguous (either “Keep the faith [that] you have between yourself and God” or “Do you have faith? Keep it between yourself and God”). The pronoun thus looks to be a motivated reading, created to clarify the meaning of the text. Even though it is found in the better witnesses, in this instance internal evidence should be given preference. NA²⁷ places the word in brackets, indicating some doubt as to its authenticity.

[16:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

[1:27]  ⁷ tn Grk “likewise so also the males abandoning the natural function of the female.”

[1:27]  ⁸ tn Grk “burned with intense desire” (L&N 25.16).

[1:27]  ⁹ tn Grk “another, men committing…and receiving,” continuing the description of their deeds. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
