Romans 8:13

8:13 (for if you live according to the flesh, you will ¹  die), ²  but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

Romans 8:18

8:18 For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared ³  to the glory that will be revealed to us.

Romans 8:38

8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, ⁴  nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,

[8:13]  ¹ tn Grk “are about to, are certainly going to.”

[8:13]  ² sn This remark is parenthetical to Paul’s argument.

[8:18]  ³ tn Grk “are not worthy [to be compared].”

[8:38]  ⁵ tn BDAG 138 s.v. ἀρχή 6 takes this term as a reference to angelic or transcendent powers (as opposed to merely human rulers). To clarify this, the adjective “heavenly” has been supplied in the translation. Some interpreters see this as a reference to fallen angels or demonic powers, and this view is reflected in some recent translations (NIV, NLT).
