Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

no & ˱there˲_is distinction

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

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.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
