UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἐμοὶ & μὴ γένοιτο καυχᾶσθαι

˱for˲_me & never ˱it˲_/might/_become /to_be/_boasting

The phrase may it never be is an exclamation that communicates a strong desire against doing something. Use an exclamation that is natural in your language for communicating this meaning. Alternate translation: “may I absolutely never boast” or “may I certainly never boast”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

ἐμοὶ & μὴ γένοιτο καυχᾶσθαι, εἰ μὴ

˱for˲_me & never ˱it˲_/might/_become /to_be/_boasting except ¬not/lest

If it would appear in your language that Paul was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “may I only ever boast”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ

in the cross

Here, Paul speaks of the cross as if it were a location someone could boast in. He means that he boasts with reference to the cross. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when referring to the cross”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

the cross ˱of˲_the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

Here, the cross refers to Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross. Paul uses the cross here in a slightly different way than he did in 6:12. See how you translated the same use of the cross in 5:11. Alternate translation: “what our Lord Jesus Christ did when he died on the cross”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐμοὶ κόσμος ἐσταύρωται, κἀγὼ κόσμῳ

˱for˲_me ˱to˲_me /the/_world /has_been/_crucified and_I ˱to˲_/the/_world

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God crucified the world to me, and me to the world”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

κόσμος & κόσμῳ

/the/_world & ˱to˲_/the/_world

Here, the world could refer to: (1) the entire world system, which is hostile to God. This world operates according to the elementary principles (4:3) that exist during this present evil age (1:4). Alternate translation: “this world system that opposes God … to this world system that opposes God” (2) the system of values that people share who do not honor God, which is how John uses the world in 1 John 2:15. Alternate translation: “what people value in the world … to what people value in the world”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐμοὶ κόσμος ἐσταύρωται

˱for˲_me ˱to˲_me /the/_world /has_been/_crucified

Here, Paul speaks of the world no longer influencing him as if the world were a dead man who had been crucified. Just as a dead person cannot directly influence anyone, so the world could not influence Paul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “the world does not influence me” or “it is as if the world were dead to me”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

κἀγὼ κόσμῳ

and_I ˱to˲_/the/_world

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous clause. Alternate translation: “and I have been crucified to the world”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κἀγὼ κόσμῳ

and_I ˱to˲_/the/_world

This could mean: (1) the same as the previous clause, but stated in reverse order for emphasis. Alternate translation: “and I am not influenced by the world” (2) the opposite of the previous clause. Alternate translation: “and I do not influence the world”
