NET © Notes |
1 tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing. 2 tn Grk “[it is] unto condemnation for all people.” 3 tn Here ἀνθρώπους (anqrwpou") has been translated as a generic (“people”) since both men and women are clearly intended in this context. 4 tn There are no verbs in the Greek text of v. 18, forcing translators to supply phrases like “came through one transgression,” “resulted from one transgression,” etc. 5 sn One transgression refers to the sin of Adam in Gen 3:1-24. 6 sn The one righteous act refers to Jesus’ death on the cross. 7 tn Grk “righteousness of life.” |
