UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ποῖον γὰρ κλέος, εἰ ἁμαρτάνοντες καὶ κολαφιζόμενοι ὑπομενεῖτε?

what for credit_‹is_it› if sinning and /being/_beaten ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_enduring_‹it›

Peter is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize that there is nothing praiseworthy about suffering for doing something wrong. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate this sentence as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “For there is no credit if, sinning and being beaten, you will endure.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κολαφιζόμενοι

/being/_beaten

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “someone beats you” or “your master beats you”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἀγαθοποιοῦντες καὶ πάσχοντες

doing_good and suffering

This could mean: (1) someone suffers even though that person did what is good. Alternate translation: “suffering despite doing good” (2) someone suffers because that person did what is good. Alternate translation: “suffering because of doing good”

τοῦτο χάρις παρὰ Θεῷ
