[6:16] 1 tn Grk “to whom you present yourselves.”
[6:16] 2 tn Grk “as slaves for obedience.” See the note on the word “slave” in 1:1.
[6:16] 3 tn Grk “either of sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness.”
[1:5] 4 tn Grk “through whom.”
[1:5] 5 tn Some interpreters understand the phrase “grace and apostleship” as a hendiadys, translating “grace [i.e., gift] of apostleship.” The pronoun “our” is supplied in the translation to clarify the sense of the statement.
[1:5] 6 tn Grk “and apostleship for obedience.”
[1:5] 7 tn The phrase ὑπακοὴν πίστεως has been variously understood as (1) an objective genitive (a reference to the Christian faith, “obedience to [the] faith”); (2) a subjective genitive (“the obedience faith produces [or requires]”); (3) an attributive genitive (“believing obedience”); or (4) as a genitive of apposition (“obedience, [namely] faith”) in which “faith” further defines “obedience.” These options are discussed by C. E. B. Cranfield, Romans (ICC), 1:66. Others take the phrase as deliberately ambiguous; see D. B. Garlington, “The Obedience of Faith in the Letter to the Romans: Part I: The Meaning of ὑπακοὴ πίστεως (Rom 1:5; 16:26),” WTJ 52 (1990): 201-24.
