Romans 8:4

8:4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Romans 12:6

12:6 And we have different gifts ¹  according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.

Romans 5:5

5:5 And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God ²  has been poured out ³  in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Romans 8:32

8:32 Indeed, he who ⁴  did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?

Romans 9:29

9:29 Just ⁵  as Isaiah predicted,

“If the Lord of armies ⁶  had not left us descendants,

we would have become like Sodom,

and we would have resembled Gomorrah.” ⁷ 

[12:6]  ¹ tn This word comes from the same root as “grace” in the following clause; it means “things graciously given,” “grace-gifts.”

[5:5]  ¹ tn The phrase ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ (Jh agaph tou qeou, “the love of God”) could be interpreted as either an objective genitive (“our love for God”), subjective genitive (“God’s love for us”), or both (M. Zerwick’s “general” genitive [Biblical Greek, §§36-39]; D. B. Wallace’s “plenary” genitive [ExSyn 119-21]). The immediate context, which discusses what God has done for believers, favors a subjective genitive, but the fact that this love is poured out within the hearts of believers implies that it may be the source for believers’ love for God; consequently an objective genitive cannot be ruled out. It is possible that both these ideas are meant in the text and that this is a plenary genitive: “The love that comes from God and that produces our love for God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (ExSyn 121).

[5:5]  ² sn On the OT background of the Spirit being poured out, see Isa 32:15; Joel 2:28-29.

[8:32]  ¹ tn Grk “[he] who.” The relative clause continues the question of v. 31 in a way that is awkward in English. The force of v. 32 is thus: “who indeed did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – How will he not also with him give us all things?”

[9:29]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:29]  ² tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts”; Grk “Lord Sabaoth,” which means “Lord of the [heavenly] armies,” sometimes translated more generally as “Lord Almighty.”

[9:29]  ³ sn A quotation from Isa 1:9.
