1 tn Grk “God’s purpose according to election.”

2 tn Or “not based on works but based on…”

3 tn Grk “by the one who calls.”

sn The entire clause is something of a parenthetical remark.

4 sn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.

5 tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

6 tn Grk “So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.”

7 tn Grk “Or does not the potter have authority over the clay to make from the same lump.”
