Discovery BoxRomans 4:24 
Context4:24 but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
Romans 8:23
Context8:23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 1 groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, 2 the redemption of our bodies. 3
1 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.
2 tn See the note on “adoption” in v. 15.
3 tn Grk “body.”
