UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ

therefore

The connecting word Therefore introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that God has created the believers as new, holy people. The result is that they would stop acting immorally like they used to live. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀποθέμενοι τὸ ψεῦδος

/having/_put_away ¬the falsehood

Paul speaks of telling lies as if they were objects that the believers could set aside. Alternate translation: “no longer telling lies” or “instead of telling lies”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

λαλεῖτε ἀλήθειαν ἕκαστος

/be/_speaking /the/_truth each

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word truth, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “each of you should speak truthfully”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι

because

The connecting word because introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that believers are members of the same body of Christ. The result is that believers should speak the truth to each other. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐσμὲν ἀλλήλων μέλη

˱we˲_are ˱of˲_one_another members

Here Paul speaks of the close union of believers with each other as if they were each part of one single body. Alternate translation: “we belong to one another” or “we are all members of God’s family”
