Footnotes

  1. Romans 1:26 tn Grk “for their females exchanged the natural function for that which is contrary to nature.” The term χρῆσις (chrēsis) has the force of “sexual relations” here (L&N 23.65).
  2. Romans 1:27 tn Grk “likewise so also the males abandoning the natural function of the female.”
  3. Romans 1:27 tn Grk “burned with intense desire” (L&N 25.16).
  4. Romans 1:27 tn Grk “another, men committing…and receiving,” continuing the description of their deeds. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
