Romans 2:29

10:20 And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I became well known to those who did not ask for me.” ¹⁰ 

Romans 11:11

11:11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, ¹¹  did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel ¹²  jealous.

Romans 11:25

11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, ¹³  so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel ¹⁴  until the full number ¹⁵  of the Gentiles has come in.

¹ sn Gentile is a NT term for a non-Jew.

² tn Some (e.g. C. E. B. Cranfield, Romans [ICC], 1:135-37) take the phrase φύσει (fusei, “by nature”) to go with the preceding “do not have the law,” thus: “the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature,” that is, by virtue of not being born Jewish.

³ tn Grk “do by nature the things of the law.”

⁴ sn On circumcision is of the heart see Lev 26:41; Deut 10:16; Jer 4:4; Ezek 44:9.

⁵ tn Some have taken the phrase ἐν πνεύματι (en pneumati, “by/in [the] S/spirit”) not as a reference to the Holy Spirit, but referring to circumcision as “spiritual and not literal” (RSV).

⁶ tn Grk “letter.”

⁷ tn Grk “whose.” The relative pronoun has been replaced by the phrase “this person’s” and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started in the translation.

⁸ 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 tn Grk “preaching”; the words “to them” are supplied for clarification.

¹⁰ sn A quotation from Isa 65:1.

¹¹ tn Grk “that they might fall.”

¹² tn Grk “them”; the referent (Israel, cf. 11:7) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

¹⁴ tn Or “Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.”

¹⁵ tn Grk “fullness.”
