Thus, although the external evidence is strongly in favor of the subjunctive, the indicative is represented well enough that its ancestry could easily go back to the original. Turning to the internal evidence, the indicative gains much ground. (1) The variant may have been produced via an error of hearing (since omicron and omega were pronounced alike in ancient Greek). This, of course, does not indicate which reading was original – just that an error of hearing may have produced one of them. In light of the indecisiveness of the transcriptional evidence, intrinsic evidence could play a much larger role. This is indeed the case here. (2) The indicative fits well with the overall argument of the book to this point. Up until now, Paul has been establishing the “indicatives of the faith.” There is only one imperative (used rhetorically) and only one hortatory subjunctive (and this in a quotation within a diatribe) up till this point, while from ch. on there are sixty-one imperatives and seven hortatory subjunctives. Clearly, an exhortation would be out of place in ch. . (3) Paul presupposes that the audience has peace with God (via reconciliation) in 5:10 . This seems to assume the indicative in v. 1 . (4) As C. E. B. Cranfield notes, “it would surely be strange for Paul, in such a carefully argued writing as this, to exhort his readers to enjoy or to guard a peace which he has not yet explicitly shown to be possessed by them” ( Romans [ICC], 1:257). (5) The notion that εἰρήνην ἔχωμεν ( eirhnhn ecwmen ) can even naturally mean “enjoy peace” is problematic ( ExSyn 464), yet those who embrace the subjunctive have to give the verb some such force. Thus, although the external evidence is stronger in support of the subjunctive, the internal evidence points to the indicative. Although a decision is difficult, ἔχομεν appears to be the authentic reading.","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Romans%205%3A1/2"}

Zerwick’s “general” genitive [ Biblical Greek , §§36-39]; D. B. Wallace’s “plenary” genitive [ ExSyn 119-21]). The immediate context, which discusses what God has done for believers, favors a subjective genitive, but the fact that this love is poured out within the hearts of believers implies that it may be the source for believers’ love for God; consequently an objective genitive cannot be ruled out. It is possible that both these ideas are meant in the text and that this is a plenary genitive: “The love that comes from God and that produces our love for God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us” ( ExSyn 121).","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Romans%205%3A5/1"}
