UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

*For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that this verse is the reason why the previous statement is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “What I have just said is true because”

ὃ & κατεργάζομαι, οὐ γινώσκω

what & ˱I˲_/am/_producing not ˱I˲_/am/_knowing

Alternate translation: “I am not sure why I do some of the things that I do”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it introduces an explanation of “what I produce,” in the previous sentence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “In fact,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Occurrence 2) οὐ & ὃ θέλω & ὃ μισῶ

not & what ˱I˲_/am/_wanting & what ˱I˲_/am/_hating

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “what I do not want to do … what I hate to do”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

(Occurrence 2) οὐ & ὃ θέλω, τοῦτο πράσσω & ὃ μισῶ, τοῦτο ποιῶ.

not & what ˱I˲_/am/_wanting this ˱I˲_/am/_doing & what ˱I˲_/am/_hating this ˱I˲_/am/_practicing

The phrases I practice and I do are exaggerations that Paul uses to emphasize that he often does what he does not want to do. It does not mean that Paul always does these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “what I do not want, this I often practice … what I hate, this I often do”
