¹ tn Or “happiness.”

² tn Grk “upon.”

³ sn See the note on “circumcision” in 2:25.

⁴ tn Grk “upon.”

⁵ sn A quotation from Gen 15:6.

⁶ tn Or “exult, boast.”

⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

¹¹ sn One man refers here to Jesus Christ.

¹² tn Grk “the many.”

¹³ tn Grk “we will certainly also of his resurrection.”

¹⁴ tn Or “who have the Spirit as firstfruits.” The genitive πνεύματος (pneumatos) can be understood here as possessive (“the firstfruits belonging to the Spirit”) although it is much more likely that this is a genitive of apposition (“the firstfruits, namely, the Spirit”); cf. TEV, NLT.

¹⁵ tn See the note on “adoption” in v. 15.

¹⁶ tn Grk “body.”

¹⁷ tn Grk “and her who was not beloved, ‘Beloved.’”

¹⁸ sn A quotation from Hos 2:23.

¹⁹ tn Grk “its wrath”; the referent (the governing authorities) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²⁰ tn Grk “because of (the) conscience,” but the English possessive “your” helps to show whose conscience the context implies.
