Footnotes

  1. 63 Grk “who, knowing …, not only do them but also approve …” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
  2. 64 Grk “are worthy of death.”
  3. 65 “Vice lists” like vv. 28–32 can be found elsewhere in the NT in Matt 15:19; Gal 5:19–21; 1 Tim 1:9–10; and 1 Pet 4:3. An example from the intertestamental period can be found in Wis 14:25–26.
