[8:15]  ¹ tn Grk “slavery again to fear.”

[8:15]  ² tn The Greek term υἱοθεσία (Juioqesia) was originally a legal technical term for adoption as a son with full rights of inheritance. BDAG 1024 s.v. notes, “a legal t.t. of ‘adoption’ of children, in our lit., i.e. in Paul, only in a transferred sense of a transcendent filial relationship between God and humans (with the legal aspect, not gender specificity, as major semantic component).”

[8:15]  ³ tn Or “in that.”

[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.

[7:11]  ⁷ tn Or “and through it killed me.”

[5:11]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:11]  ¹¹ tn Or “exult, boast.”

[7:8]  ¹³ tn Or “covetousness.”

[13:2]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “the authority,” referring to the authority just described.

[4:11]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “of the faith, the one [existing] in uncircumcision.”

[4:11]  ²⁰ tn Grk “that he might be,” giving the purpose of v. 11a.

[4:11]  ²¹ tn Grk “through uncircumcision.”

[5:17]  ²² sn Here the one man refers to Adam (cf. 5:14).
