Mortuum, ait, non mortale. Ante peccatum enim corpus animale, id est mortale fuit, scilicet potens mori. Sed quod non necesse erat mori: modo mortuum dicitur propter peccatum, id est quod est necesse mori. Propter peccatum vitandum, reservatur hæc infirmitas, ut exinde peccare magis timeat.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ

Paul is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might misunderstand and think that what Paul is saying is not certain, then you can translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν

Christ_‹is› in you_all

Here Paul speaks of you as if you were a location that Christ could be in. See how you translated in you in the previous verse.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

τὸ μὲν σῶμα νεκρὸν διὰ ἁμαρτίαν, τὸ δὲ Πνεῦμα ζωὴ διὰ δικαιοσύνην

the on_one_hand body dead because_of sin the on_the_other_hand Spirit life because_of righteousness

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “the Spirit is life because of righteousness even though the body is dead because of sin”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τὸ & σῶμα νεκρὸν

the & body dead

Paul is speaking of the bodies of believers in general, not of one particular body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “the bodies are dead”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ μὲν σῶμα νεκρὸν διὰ ἁμαρτίαν

the on_one_hand body dead because_of sin

Here Paul speaks of the body as if it were already dead. Paul means that the physical body of a Christian will still die because of sin. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the body will certainly die because of sin”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ δὲ Πνεῦμα ζωὴ

the the on_the_other_hand Spirit life

Here, the Spirit is life could mean: (1) the Holy Spirit gives a person eternal life. In this case Spirit refers to the Holy Spirit and life refers to eternal life. Alternate translation: “but the Holy Spirit grants eternal life” (2) a believer’s spirit is alive. In this case Spirit refers to the spirits of individual believers. Alternate translation: “but the spirit is alive” or “but your spirits are alive”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ δικαιοσύνην

because_of because_of righteousness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “because of your righteous status”
