    • 10:30

      “Vengeance is mine; I will repay”: Paul here quotes from De 32:35, as he also does at Ro 12:19. (See study notes.) Some Greek manuscripts here add “says [the] Lord,” and some translations of the Christian Greek Scriptures into Hebrew read: “says Jehovah.”

      Jehovah: In this quote from De 32:36, the divine name, represented by four Hebrew consonants (transliterated YHWH), occurs in the original Hebrew text. Therefore, the divine name is used here in the main text.​—See App. C1 and C2; see also Ps 135:14 (134:14, LXX), where the same Greek phrase appears in the Septuagint.

      “Jehovah will judge his people”: Paul quotes from De 32:36, which originally provided comfort for God’s people of ancient Israel by assuring them that Jehovah would protect them from their enemies. However, the implied warning was that the same impartial Judge would bring adverse judgment on his own people if they proved rebellious or faithless. Paul here applies the same words, not to unbelievers, but to wayward Christians.​—Compare Heb 6:4-6.
