UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ καὶ

therefore also

Here, the phrase And therefore introduces an inference or conclusion based on what Paul has already said, particularly in 5:6–8. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference or conclusion based on what has been said. Alternate translation: “Because of that,” or “And so”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἴτε ἐνδημοῦντες εἴτε ἐκδημοῦντες

whether being_at_home or being_absent

Here Paul could be referring to how people are at home or away from: (1) the Lord. Alternate translation: “whether being at home with the Lord or being away from him” (2) this body. Alternate translation: “whether being at home in this body or being away from it”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

εἴτε ἐνδημοῦντες εἴτε ἐκδημοῦντες

whether being_at_home or being_absent

Here Paul continues to refer to a building in which a person could be at home. Express the idea as you did in 5:6, 8. Make sure that your translation matches or fits with what you chose in the previous note about whether Paul implies “body” or “Lord” here. Alternate translation: “whether being in the body as if it were a home or out of the body” or “whether being present or being absent”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῷ

˱to˲_him

Here, the word him refers to the Lord, that is, Jesus, whom Paul mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit what the pronoun refers to. Alternate translation: “to the Lord”
