UTN uW Translation Notes:

ἀρκετὸς & ὁ παρεληλυθὼς χρόνος

sufficient & the /having/_passed_by time_‹is›

Alternate translation: “enough time has passed”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ βούλημα τῶν ἐθνῶν

the counsel ˱of˲_the pagans

Here Peter uses Gentiles to refer to sinful people who do not know God. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. See the discussion of this term in the General Notes for this chapter. Alternate translation: “the will of those people who do not know God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις, καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρίαις

/having/_pursued in wantonness lusts drunkenness carousing drinking_parties and unlawful idolatries

Peter speaks of these different sins as if they were places that his readers had formerly lived in. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “having practiced licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις, καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρίαις

/having/_pursued in wantonness lusts drunkenness carousing drinking_parties and unlawful idolatries

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, and idolatry, you can express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “having lived licentious and lustful lives, getting drunk, attending immoral parties and drinking parties, and worshiping prohibited idols”
