11:11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, 5 did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel 6 jealous.
1 tn Grk “every man”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here to stress humanity rather than masculinity.
2 tn Grk “Let God be true, and every man a liar.” The words “proven” and “shown up” are supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning.
3 tn Grk “might be justified,” a subjunctive verb, but in this type of clause it carries the same sense as the future indicative verb in the latter part. “Will” is more idiomatic in contemporary English.
4 tn Or “prevail when you judge.” A quotation from Ps 51:4.
5 tn Grk “that they might fall.”
6 tn Grk “them”; the referent (Israel, cf. 11:7) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
