TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:18 The identity of the enemies is not known; they might have been (1) Jews or Jewish Christians proud of their circumcision (as in 3:2), whose emphasis on observant Judaism contradicted the cross of Christ; (2) pseudo-believers living a worldly, immoral life (cp. 3:19); or (3) professing believers who had rejected Paul’s cross-centered view of the Good News. Christ’s crucifixion as a criminal was scandalous and offensive to many (see 1 Cor 1:23; cp. Rom 9:33; 1 Pet 2:8).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πολλοὶ γὰρ περιπατοῦσιν

many for /are/_walking

Here, the word walk is a Jewish figure of speech meaning to “live” or to “conduct one’s life.” In Jewish culture a person’s behavior was spoken of as if that person was walking along a path. If it would be helpful in your language, consider stating this in plain language. Alternate translation: “For many live” or “For many people conduct their lives”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πολλοὶ γὰρ

many for

The phrase For many leaves out a word that would be needed in some languages to be completely clear. If it would be clearer in your language, you could supply the missing word from the context. Alternate translation: “For many people walk”

νῦν δὲ καὶ κλαίων

now and even weeping

Alternate translation: “but now telling you with great sadness”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τοὺς ἐχθροὺς τοῦ σταυροῦ τοῦ Χριστοῦ

¬the enemies ˱of˲_the cross ˱of˲_the Messiah

Paul is describing the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection and the work of sharing this good news by associating these things with the cross of Christ. Here, the phrase the cross of Christ is synonymous with the gospel message and the work of spreading the gospel message. The phrase enemies of the cross of Christ refers to the people who are opposed to the message of the gospel and who oppose the people who share the gospel with others. If this is not clear in your language, you could express this with plain language. Alternate translation: “as enemies of the good news about Jesus” or “as enemies of the message about Jesus and enemies of those who proclaim it” or “as enemies of the message about Jesus and enemies of those who share it with others”
