2:18 and know his will and approve the superior things because you receive instruction from the law,

Romans 8:37

8:37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!

tn Grk “the will.”

tn Grk “because of being instructed out of the law.”

tn BDAG 1034 s.v. ὑπερνικάω states, “as a heightened form of νικᾶν prevail completely ὑπερνικῶμεν we are winning a most glorious victory Ro 8:37.”

tn Here the referent could be either God or Christ, but in v. 39 it is God’s love that is mentioned.
