Romans Study Notes—Chapter 14

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 14:8
  
  Jehovah: Available Greek manuscripts use the term Kyʹri·os (“Lord,” with the definite article in Greek) three times in this verse. However, as explained in App. C, there are reasons to believe that the divine name was originally used in this verse and later replaced by the title Lord. Therefore, the name Jehovah is used here in the main text.—See App. C3 introduction; Ro 14:8.
