Rom 9:19 τί - Adverbial Interrogative: "why?" (Wall p 346) Rom 9:20 ὦ ἄνθρωπε One of only 8 instances of ὦ + Voc in the NT. (Wall p 69) Rom 9:21 αὐτοῦ - Identifying adjective. (Wall p 350) Rom 9:22 ὀργῆς - Possibly genitive of destination. Wallace believes so. The alternative is descriptive, but the parallel with κατηρτισμένα shows that the wrath is actually what their end or goal is. Also, ὀργῆ tends to have a very eschatological tinge to it, especially in Romans. (Wall p 101) τὸ δυνατὸν αὐτοῦ - "It is not infrequent to find a possessive gen. after an adjective ending in -τος, especially in Romans." (Wall p 127) κατηρτισμένα Theological Debate: See long discussion by Wallace on p 417. If this is a middle, then it might be rendered "Preparing themselves for destruction." If it is a passive, then "Being prepared for destruction." According to Wallace, the middle has little to commend it. The passive is a better candidate. Rom 9:25 OT Reference: Καλέσω τὸν οὐ λαόν μου λαόν μου καὶ τὴν οὐκ ἠγαπημένην ἠγαπημένην· This is taken from Hos 2:23. (note: in the Hebrew bible it is Hos 2:25.) וּזְרַעְתִּ֤יהָ לִּי֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ וְרִֽחַמְתִּ֖י אֶת־לֹ֣א רֻחָ֑מָה וְאָמַרְתִּ֤י לְלֹֽא־עַמִּי֙ עַמִּי־אַ֔תָּה Literally: "And I will sow her to me in the land. And I will have compassion on "no compassion" and I will say to "not my people", you are my people." LXX: (Hos 2:25) ἐλεήσω τὴν Οὐκ-ἠλεημένην καὶ ἐρῶ τῷ Οὐ-λαῷ-μου Λαός μου I will have compassion on "no compassion" and I will say to "not my people" (you are) my people. Paul is clearly paraphrasing the text here using the word "Καλέσω" where neither the MT nor the LXX does. It could be argued that the Greek word for "to call" is extremely important to Paul. Also, the sense of the OT text has been changed slightly by Paul. In the OT, God has compassion on "No-Compassion". In the NT quote, God "calls" "No-Compassion" compassion. I suppose the semantic meaning is similar, but it is not equivalent. The two are closer in the second clause where (OT) "I will say to Not-My-People you are my people" and (NT) "I will call Not-My-People" my people" are much more overlapping. Rom 9:26 OT Reference: καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ οὗ ἐρρέθη αὐτοῖς, Οὐ λαός μου ὑμεῖς, ἐκεῖ κληθήσονται υἱοὶ θεοῦ ζῶντος. Taken from Hos 1:10: (Note: In the Hebrew bible it is Hos 2:1) וְֽ֠הָיָה בִּמְק֞וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יֵאָמֵ֤ר לָהֶם֙ לֹֽא־עַמִּ֣י אַתֶּ֔ם יֵאָמֵ֥ר לָהֶ֖ם בְּנֵ֥י אֵֽל־חָֽי׃ Lit: "And it will be in a place which (where) it will be said to them, 'You are not my people', it will be said to them, 'The sons of the Living God.'" The LXX reads: καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, οὗ ἐρρέθη αὐτοῖς Οὐ λαός μου ὑμεῖς, ἐκεῖ κληθήσονται υἱοὶ θεοῦ ζῶντος. Paul uses the LXX word-for-word here. Changes between MT and LXX: The LXX changes the second verb יֵאָמֵ֥ר to κληθήσονται. The LXX makes the first verb יֵאָמֵ֥ר an Aorist passive whereas it is a Niphal Imperfect in the Hebrew. ie: The LXX changed the tense to past. Paul possibly uses the LXX here because of its use of καλέω. He seems to be linking the two OT verses using this word. In the first instance, he paraphrases the text and adds the word καλέω into the text. In the second verse, καλέω is in the LXX and Paul specifically uses it for his purposes here.
