OET (OET-RV) and I’m not living any more, but it’s the messiah now living in me. The way that my body stays alive now is by living by faith in God’s son—the one who loved me and allowed himself to be executed for me.

MSG ^(19-21)What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law man” so that I could be God’s man. Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ζῶ & οὐκέτι ἐγώ, ζῇ δὲ ἐν ἐμοὶ Χριστός

˱I˲_/am/_living & no_longer_‹it_is› I /is/_living but in me Christ

Here, the phrase I no longer live, but Christ lives in me is a metaphor which means that Paul no longer lives for himself and his own self-motivated purposes and desires, but rather, he now lets Christ’s will direct his actions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or you could express the meaning plainly.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὃ & νῦν ζῶ

what & now ˱I˲_/am/_living

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “that life which I now live”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ὃ & νῦν ζῶ ἐν σαρκί, ἐν πίστει ζῶ

what & now ˱I˲_/am/_living in /the/_flesh in faith ˱I˲_/am/_living

Here, when Paul refers to the life he lives in his earthly body, he is using his life to refer to the actions that he does while living in his body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or use plain language. Alternate translation: “the actions that I now do while living in my body, I do by faith”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ὃ & νῦν ζῶ ἐν σαρκί

what & now ˱I˲_/am/_living in /the/_flesh

Here, Paul uses the word flesh, which is one part of his body, to refer to his entire body. The phrase that which I now live in the flesh means that life which I now live in the body and refers to Paul’s present life on earth in his physical body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: “that life which I now live in the body” or “that life which I now live in my body”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν πίστει ζῶ τῇ τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ

in in in faith ˱I˲_/am/_living ¬which ˱in˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, the word by is expressing means and is introducing the means by which Paul now lives, specifically by faith in the Son of God. So when Paul says I live by faith that is in the Son of God he means that he now lives his life by means of having faith in God’s Son. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. See how you translated the similar phrase “through faith in Jesus Christ” in 2:16. Alternate translation: “I live by having faith in God’s Son” or “I live by exercising faith in God’s Son”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πίστει

faith

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea with a verbal form such as "trusting," or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language.

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

τῇ

¬which

Here, Paul uses the word that to introduce the specific object of his faith, which is the Son of God and not the law of Moses. Use a natural form to express this use of the word that.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντός με

˱in˲_the ¬the the_‹one› /having/_loved me

The phrase the one refers to the Son of God. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “who is the one having loved me”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παραδόντος ἑαυτὸν

/having/_given_over himself

The phrase having given himself means that Jesus voluntarily made himself available as a sacrifice. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “having voluntarily given himself as a sacrifice”
