6:21 eternal doom (literally death): Throughout chs 5–8, Paul uses death to describe the eternal consequences of sin (5:12, 14, 15, 17, 21; 6:16, 23; 7:5, 9-10, 13, 24; 8:2, 6, 13). The language goes back to God’s warning to Adam and Eve (Gen 2:17). This death is not primarily physical death; it denotes separation from the fellowship of God that, if not reversed through faith in Christ, will last forever.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
τίνα & καρπὸν εἴχετε τότε, ἐφ’ οἷς νῦν ἐπαισχύνεσθε? τὸ γὰρ τέλος ἐκείνων θάνατος
what & fruit ˱you_all˲_/were/_having then in which now ˱you_all˲_/are/_being_ashamed the for end ˱of˲_those_‹things› death_‹is›
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these sentences since the second sentence gives the reason for the result that the first sentence describes. Alternate translation: “since the outcome of those things is death, what fruit were you then having because of which things you are now ashamed?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίνα οὖν καρπὸν εἴχετε τότε, ἐφ’ οἷς νῦν ἐπαισχύνεσθε
what therefore fruit ˱you_all˲_/were/_having then in which now ˱you_all˲_/are/_being_ashamed
Paul is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the futility of being “slaves to sin” in the previous verse. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation in order to communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “So you were not then having any fruit because of which things you are now ashamed!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
καρπὸν
fruit
Here, fruit is an idiom that refers to a benefit or advantage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “advantage” or “profit”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐφ’ οἷς & ἐκείνων
in which & ˱of˲_those_‹things›
Here, which things and those things refer to sins. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “because of which sins … of those sins”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸ γὰρ τέλος ἐκείνων θάνατος
the for end ˱of˲_those_‹things› death_‹is›
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of outcome and death, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “For those things finally result in you dying”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
θάνατος
death_‹is›
Here, death refers to spiritual death, which is eternal punishment in hell that occurs after physical death. See how you translated the same use of death in 6:16.
