SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:5–15: Salvation for everyone is by faith not works

In this section Paul spoke about righteousness based on the Law of Moses and righteousness based on faith. The righteousness which comes from the Law is based on doing what the Law says. The righteousness which comes from faith is not based on what a person does but is instead a matter of the heart.

God rescues the person who believes in Jesus and announces that Jesus is his Lord. Paul said that this is true for both Jews and people who are not Jews. Jesus is Lord of all of them. and blesses them very much.

Paul then asked several questions for the believers in Rome to think about. He implied that someone must be sent and preach, and people must hear, believe, and call on Jesus. Paul ended the section with a quote from the Old Testament about how it is good to preach the good news.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

God saves anyone, Jew or Gentile, who believes in Jesus

Salvation by faith and the need for preaching near and far

10:12a

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek:

For Jews and Greeks/Gentiles are the same before God,
For Jews are the same as non-Jews regarding faith.

For: This word introduces an explanation about “anyone” in 10:11b.

there is no difference between Jew and Greek: This clause indicates that, regarding faith in Jesus and becoming God’s people, God’s promises are the same for Jews and people who are not Jews. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

there is no difference between Jews and Greeks (GW)

Jews and Greeks are the same in this regard

Greek: This word refers to people whose native language is Greek and to others who live according to Greek ways. Here it implies everyone who is not a Jew. Paul was not leaving out anyone in this verse. So in some languages it will be more clear to use the usual translation of the word “Gentile.” For example:

Gentile (NIV)

those who are Jews and those who are not (NCV)

You may then want to say what the literal word is and explain it here in a footnote. Here is an example footnote:

Literally: “Greek people.” But here Paul implied all people who are not Jews, because he was explaining the word “anyone” in 10:11.

If you translate the word Greek literally, you may want to explain Paul’s meaning here in a footnote. Here is an example footnote:

Here Paul implied all people who are not Jews, because he was explaining the word “anyone” in 10:11.

10:12b

The same Lord is Lord of all,

because the Lord is lord over all people,
The Leader/Master Jesus is the one who rules over all believers.

The Greek of 10:12b begins with a word that is often translated as “for.” This words explains what Paul said in 10:12a. For example:

because the same Lord is Lord of all (REB)

In some languages omitting the word “for” and implying the connection is more natural, because of the word “For” in 10:12a. The BSB follows this approach.

The same Lord is Lord of all: This clause indicates that there is only one Lord, and he is Lord over all people. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

They all have the same Lord (GW)

the Lord is lord over everyone

There is just one Lord for all mankindUma Back Translation on TW.

Lord: The word Lord refers to someone who has authority over people. Many scholars think it refers to Jesus here, but the GNT adds “God” here. If possible, do not say who this Lord is here.

Some languages must indicate who this Lord is. If that is true in your language, add “Jesus,” because Paul was clearly referring to Jesus in 10:11 (“believes in him”) and called him Lord in 10:9.

10:12c

and gives richly to all who call on Him,

and he gives generously to everyone who calls on him for help.
And he gives great gifts to all who ask him for help.

and gives richly to all: Here the word richly refers to God’s generous gifts to those who believe, such as his kindness and patience (2:4), his glory (9:23) and his wisdom and knowledge (11:33). Here are other ways to translate this clause:

enriching all who call upon him (NABRE)

and richly blesses all who call on him (NIV)

who gives generously to all who call on him (NLT)

and he gives great gifts to the spirits/lives of everyone

call on Him: Here the Greek grammar called “middle voice” on the verb implies asking for help. For example:

asks for his help (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γάρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it introduces another explanation for what Paul said in [10:10](../10/10.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [In fact,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐ & ἐστιν διαστολὴ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὒ Γάρ ἐστίν διαστολή Ἰουδαίου τέ καί Ἕλληνος ὁ γάρ αὐτός Κύριος πάντων πλουτῶν εἰς πάντας τούς ἐπικαλουμένους αὐτόν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of distinction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [God does not distinguish]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, for indicates that what follows is the reason why what Paul said in the previous clause is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. You may need to start a new sentence, as in the UST. Alternate translation: [This is due to the fact that]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

Κύριος πάντων

Lord ˱of˲_all

Paul is using the possessive form to describe the Lord who rules over all. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [Lord is ruling over all]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πάντων & πάντας

˱of˲_all & all

Paul is using the adjective all as a noun in order to describe a group of people. If your language does not use adjectives in the same way, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [is of all people … all people]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πλουτῶν

being_rich

Here, being rich means to bless others generously. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [generously giving blessing]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπικαλουμένους αὐτόν

calling him

Here, call on implies calling out to be saved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [who call upon him to be saved]
