¹ tn The structure of vv. 21-24 is difficult. Some take these verses as the apodosis of the conditional clauses (protases) in vv. 17-20; others see vv. 17-20 as an instance of anacoluthon (a broken off or incomplete construction).

² tn Grk “the uncircumcision by nature.” The word “man” is supplied here to make clear that male circumcision (or uncircumcision) is in view.

³ tn Grk “through,” but here the preposition seems to mean “(along) with,” “though provided with,” as BDAG 224 s.v. διά A.3.c indicates.

⁴ tn Grk “letter.”

⁵ tn Grk “fruit.”

⁶ tn Grk “have,” in a tense emphasizing their customary condition in the past.

⁷ tn Grk “are about to, are certainly going to.”

⁸ sn This remark is parenthetical to Paul’s argument.

⁹ tn Grk “And it will be in the very place.”

¹⁰ sn A quotation from Hos 1:10.

¹¹ tn Grk “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”

¹² sn A quotation from Isa 28:16; 8:14.

¹³ tn The word in this context seems to mean “coming at the right or opportune time” (see BDAG 1103 s.v. ὡραῖος 1); it may also mean “beautiful, attractive, welcome.”

¹⁴ tn Grk “the feet.” The metaphorical nuance of “beautiful feet” is that such represent timely news.

¹⁵ sn A quotation from Isa 52:7; Nah 1:15.

¹⁶ tc Some important Alexandrian and Western mss (א B D*^,c 1506 pc bo) read νῦν (nun, “now”) here. A few other mss (33 365 pc sa) have ὕστερον (Justeron, “finally”). mss that lack the word are Ì⁴⁶ A D² F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï latt. External evidence slightly favors omission with good representatives from the major texttypes, and because of the alliance of Alexandrian and Byzantine mss (with the Byzantine going against its normal tendency to embrace the longer reading). Internally, scribes could have added νῦν here to give balance to the preceding clause (οὗτοι νῦν ἠπείθησαν…αὐτοὶ νῦν ἐλεηθῶσιν [|outoi nun hpeiqhsan…autoi nun elehqwsin; “they have now been disobedient…they may now receive mercy”]). However, it seems much more likely that they would have deleted it because of its seeming inappropriateness in this context. That some witnesses have ὕστερον presupposes the presence of νῦν in their ancestors. A decision is difficult, but νῦν is slightly preferred, since it is the more difficult reading and is adequately represented in the mss.

¹⁷ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the governing authorities) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁸ tn Grk “devoted to this very thing.”
