translationNotes

  • Paul begins an argument with an imaginary Jewish person.
  • Therefore you are without excuse - The word "therefore" marks a new section of the letter. It also makes a concluding statement based on what was said in :en:bible🎶rom:01:32. AT: "Since God will punish those who continually sin, he will certainly not excuse your sins"
  • you are - Paul is not talking to a real person. He is acting like a Jewish person who is arguing with him. Paul is doing this to teach his audience that God will punish everyone who continually sins, whether Jew or Gentile. (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_apostrophe)
  • you - Here the word "you" is singular. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_yousingular)
  • you person, you who judge - Here the word "person" is used to scold or mock someone who thinks he can act like God and judge others. This could be translated as a new sentence. AT: "You are just a human being, yet you judge others and say they deserve God's punishment"
  • for what you judge in another you condemn in yourself - This could be translated as a new sentence. AT: "But you are only judging yourself because you do the same wicked deeds as they do"
  • But we know - This may include Christian believers and also Jews who are not Christians. (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_inclusive)
  • God's judgment is according to truth when it falls on those - AT: "God will judge those people truly and fairly" (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_personification)
  • those who practice such things - AT: "the people who do those wicked deeds"
