UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τί οὖν

what therefore

Here, then indicates that what follows is a response to what Paul said in 6:1–14. See how you translated What then in 3:1, 4:1, and 6:1.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί οὖν? ἁμαρτήσωμεν ὅτι οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑπὸ νόμον, ἀλλὰ ὑπὸ χάριν?

what therefore ˱we˲_/may/_sin because not ˱we˲_are under law but under grace

Paul is not asking for information, but is using a question form here to address an objection that some people may have to what he said in the previous verses. If you would not use rhetorical questions for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation or communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Then we should sin because we are not under law, but under grace!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

τί οὖν? ἁμαρτήσωμεν ὅτι οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑπὸ νόμον, ἀλλὰ ὑπὸ χάριν?

what therefore ˱we˲_/may/_sin because not ˱we˲_are under law but under grace

In these two sentences, Paul is speaking as if he were a Christian who misunderstood what Paul had taught in the previous verses. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ὑπὸ νόμον & ὑπὸ χάριν

under law & under grace

See how you translated these phrases in the previous verse.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ γένοιτο

never ˱it˲_/might/_become

In this sentence Paul begins to respond to the rhetorical questions he posed earlier in the verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I would respond by saying, ‘May it never be!’”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

μὴ γένοιτο

never ˱it˲_/might/_become

See how you translated this phrase in 3:4 and 6:2.
