The discourse in the previous chapter continues in Romans 8:1 with the illative word ἄρα, ara, generally translated as 'so' or 'therefore', [10] or 'consequently' in Thayer's Greek Lexicon. [11] The vocabulary and the content of verse 1 point back to the end of chapter 5 as the basis of the conclusion which Paul starts with 'therefore'. [8]
