Romans 2:17
ContextThe Condemnation of the Jew
2:17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law 5 and boast of your relationship to God 6
1 tn No verb is expressed in this verse, but the verb “to be” is implied by the Greek construction. Literally “suffering and distress on everyone…”
2 tn Grk “every soul of man.”
3 sn Paul uses the term Greek here and in v. 10 to refer to non-Jews, i.e., Gentiles.
4 tn Grk “but even,” to emphasize the contrast. The second word has been omitted since it is somewhat redundant in English idiom.
5 sn The law refers to the Mosaic law, described mainly in the OT books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
6 tn Grk “boast in God.” This may be an allusion to Jer 9:24.
