Romans 6:6

6:6 We know that ¹  our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, ²  so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

Romans 15:23

15:23 But now there is nothing more to keep me ³  in these regions, and I have for many years desired ⁴  to come to you

[6:6]  ¹ tn Grk “knowing this, that.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[6:6]  ² tn Grk “may be rendered ineffective, inoperative,” or possibly “may be destroyed.” The term καταργέω (katargew) has various nuances. In Rom 7:2 the wife whose husband has died is freed from the law (i.e., the law of marriage no longer has any power over her, in spite of what she may feel). A similar point seems to be made here (note v. 7).

[15:23]  ³ tn Grk “now no longer having a place…I have.”

[15:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “but having a desire…for many years.”
