UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

οὖν

therefore

The word Therefore draws an inference or conclusion from what Paul has said in 2:1–5, particularly what he has said about Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could specify more explicitly what Paul is basing his inference on. Alternate translation: “Since these things about the Messiah are true”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὡς & παρελάβετε τὸν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν τὸν Κύριον, ἐν αὐτῷ περιπατεῖτε,

as & ˱you_all˲_received ¬the Christ Jesus the Lord in him /be/_walking

Paul here draws a comparison between the way in which the Colossians received the Messiah and the way in which he wishes them to behave now. If your language would put the comparison second, you could reverse the two clauses. Alternate translation: “walk in Christ Jesus the Lord just as you received him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παρελάβετε τὸν Χριστὸν

˱you_all˲_received ¬the Christ

Paul says that the Colossians received Christ as if they had welcomed him into their homes or received him as a gift. What this means is that they believed in Jesus and the teachings about him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that refers to coming to believe in Jesus, or you could express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “you first believed in Christ”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν αὐτῷ περιπατεῖτε

in him /be/_walking

In Paul’s culture, to walk is a common metaphor for how people live their lives, and the words in him refer to being united to Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different verb that refers to behavior in life and connect it with how you have translated “in Christ” elsewhere. Alternate translation: “act as those who are united to the Messiah” or “conduct yourselves as those who are in union with him”
