class="b"><strong>ROMANS 10:16</strong></a> <q class="scrp">“Jehovah, who has put faith in the thing heard from us?”</q></h3> <p id="p4" data-pid="4">REASON(S): Paul here quotes the first part of <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Isaiah 53:1</a>. In the original Hebrew text, the divine name appears in the second part of the verse, in the expression “the arm of Jehovah.” At <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">John 12:38</a>, John quotes from <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Isaiah 53:1</a> in its entirety. Both John and Paul apparently quote from the <em>Septuagint</em> translation of Isaiah’s prophecy, where the Greek text begins with the form of the word <em>Kyʹri·os</em> (Lord) used for direct address. The translators of the <em>Septuagint</em> may have inserted the divine name in this first occurrence in order to clarify to the reader that the prophet addresses his questions to God. As previously noted, <em>Kyʹri·os</em> in later copies of the <em>Septuagint</em> is often used as a substitute for the Tetragrammaton in the original Hebrew text (as is the case in the expression “arm of Jehovah” at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Isaiah 53:1</a>). Therefore, the divine name has here been used in the main text.</p> <p id="p5" data-pid="5">SUPPORT:</p> <ul><li><p id="p6" data-pid="6"> <em>The Bible Commentary,</em> edited by F. C. Cook, 1981 printing, makes this comment on the first occurrence of “Lord” in that quotation: “The word <em>‘Lord,’</em> added here and in the Greek versions of Isai. liii. I [<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Isaiah 53:1</a>], shows the prophet turning to Jehovah, as the sender of the message . . . The addition is in harmony with the original meaning of the passage, and with St. Paul’s comment upon it in <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">V. 17</a>.”</p> </li> <li><p id="p7" data-pid="7"> <em>The Interpretation of St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans,</em> by R.C.H. Lenski, says of this verse: “Paul adds ‘Lord’ to the quotation since the prophet’s question was addressed to <em>Yahweh.”</em></p> </li> <li><p id="p8" data-pid="8"> The reference work <em>Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament,</em> 1991, (Vol. 2, pp. 329-330) lists <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Romans 10:16</a> as a verse where <em>Kyʹri·os</em> is “used of Yahweh.”</p> </li> <li><p id="p9" data-pid="9"> <em>The Anchor Yale Bible,</em> by Joseph A. Fitzmyer, 1993, (Vol. 33) says of <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">Romans 10:16</a>: “Paul shows that a message sent by God is not always received with faith, even the one about the suffering Servant of Yahweh.”</p> </li> <li><p id="p10" data-pid="10"> The <em>NLT Study Bible,</em> Second Edition, 2008, puts “L<span class="altsize">ORD</span>” in capital and small capitals in this verse. The translation committee for this Bible makes this comment in the “Introduction to the New Living Translation”: “We have generally rendered the tetragrammaton (<em>YHWH</em>) consistently as ‘the L<span class="altsize">ORD</span>,’ utilizing a form . . . that is common among English translations.” Commenting on the New Testament, the committee translating this Bible says: “The Greek word <em>kurios</em> is consistently translated ‘Lord,’ <em>except that it is translated ‘L<span class="altsize">ORD</span>’ wherever the New Testament text explicitly quotes from the Old Testament, and the text there has it in small capitals.”</em>—Italics ours.</p> </li> </ul> <p id="p11" data-pid="11">SUPPORTING REFERENCES: J<sup>7, 8, 10, 14-18, 23, 30-32, 34, 35, 41, 42, 46, 52, 59, 60, 65, 66, 88, 93, 100-102, 105, 106, 114, 115, 117, 118, 122, 130, 133, 136, 144-147, 149, 154, 164-166, 174, 178, 212, 213, 237-239, 244, 250, 265, 273, 275, 283, 296, 310, 323, 324</sup></p> </div><div class="grpItems borderSolid--bottom"><h3 id="p12" data-pid="12"><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b"><strong>ROMANS 12:11</strong></a> <q class="scrp">“Slave for Jehovah”</q></h3> <p id="p13" data-pid="13">REASON(S): Available Greek manuscripts read “for the Lord” (<em>toi Ky·riʹoi</em>) here, but there are good reasons for using the divine name in the main text. In the Christian Greek Scriptures, <em>Kyʹri·os</em> can refer to Jehovah God or to Jesus Christ, depending on the context. At <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/10/0" data-bid="11-1" class="b">Romans 12:1, 2</a>, Paul urges his readers to present their bodies as a sacrifice “to <em>God”</em> and to make sure of what is “the good and acceptable and perfect will of <em>God.”</em> <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/11/0" data-bid="12-1" class="b">Verse 3</a> goes on to say “as <em>God</em> has given to [each one] a measure of faith.” Additionally, the closest other occurrence of <em>Kyʹri·os</em> in this context is at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/12/0" data-bid="13-1" class="b">Romans 12:19</a>, which quotes from <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/13/0" data-bid="14-1" class="b">Deuteronomy 32:35</a>, where the context shows that Jehovah is speaking. (See comment on <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001079345/14/0" data-bid="15-1" class="b">Romans 12:19</a>.) Also, scholars have noted that the Greek verb <em>dou·leuʹo,</em> “to slave for”; “to serve,” is used in the <em>Septuagint</em> to render Hebrew expressions where the Tetragrammaton is used in the Hebrew text.
