UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

νυνὶ δέ

now but

But now introduces a contrast with the previous two verses, a contrast that focuses on time. The word translated now refers to the time after the Roman believers became Christians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify what now refers to. Alternate translation: “But now that you believe in Jesus,”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐλευθερωθέντες ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας, δουλωθέντες δὲ τῷ Θεῷ

/having_been/_freed from ¬the sin /having_been/_enslaved and ¬the ˱to˲_God

This clause indicates the reason why Paul’s readers have fruit leading to sanctification. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “because you have been freed from sin and have been enslaved to God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐλευθερωθέντες ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας, δουλωθέντες δὲ τῷ Θεῷ

/having_been/_freed from ¬the sin /having_been/_enslaved and ¬the ˱to˲_God

Here Paul speaks of sin and God as if they were slave-masters. Paul means that Christians are no longer controlled by their desire to sin, but are supposed to obey God instead. See a similar phrase in 6:18. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “having been freed from having to live sinfully and having begun to serve God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐλευθερωθέντες ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας, δουλωθέντες δὲ τῷ Θεῷ

/having_been/_freed from ¬the sin /having_been/_enslaved and ¬the ˱to˲_God

If your language does not use passive forms in this way, you could express these ideas in active forms or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” did it. Alternate translation: “God having freed you from sin and having enslaved you to himself” or “God having released you from being controlled by your sin and having caused you to serve him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔχετε τὸν καρπὸν ὑμῶν

˱you_all˲_/are/_having the fruit ˱of˲_you_all

See how you translated fruit in the previous verse.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

See how you translated sanctification in 6:19, outcome in 6:21, and eternal life in 5:21.

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

εἰς ἁγιασμόν
