Translation is more difficult than a word-for-word best guess transliteration. Because there is no verb in one language does not mean it is wrong to add a verb in another language.

Say what you might about how Rom 8.6 is translated, but WL has only done what many others before him have done. If you don't like the word "set" or any other verb substitution, then so be it.
