UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For here indicates that this verse gives the reason why God judges both groups of people mentioned in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language to indicate a reason. Alternate translation: “God judges both groups of people impartially because”

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

νόμου & νόμου

˱of˲_/the/_law_‹are› & ˱of˲_/the/_law

See how you translated the law in the previous verse.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ & δίκαιοι παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ

not & righteous with ¬the God

Paul uses with God here to describe righteous people as if they were located in the presence of God. He means that God makes them right with himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “are not made righteous by God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ ποιηταὶ νόμου δικαιωθήσονται

the the doers ˱of˲_/the/_law /will_be_being/_justified

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. If you must state who will do the action, Paul implies that “God” will do it. Alternate translation: “God will justify the doers of the law”
