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 what follows in this verse and the next verse is the reason why Christians “groan” and are “eagerly expecting” to be fully adopted and redeemed. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “We do this because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ & ἐλπίδι & ἐλπὶς & ἐλπίς

˱in˲_the & hope & hope & hope

See how you translated the abstract noun hope in 5:4.

τῇ & ἐλπίδι

˱in˲_the & hope

Here, in could indicate: (1) that hope is associated with being saved. Alternate translation: “in association with this hope” (2) the means by which people are saved. In this case, hope would refer to faith. Alternate translation: “by this hope”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐσώθημεν

˱we˲_/were/_saved

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form 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 saved us”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

βλεπομένη & βλέπει

/being/_seen & /is/_seeing

Paul uses seen and sees here to refer to experiencing something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “being experienced … he experiences”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

βλεπομένη

/being/_seen

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “that people can see”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

(Occurrence 2) γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows is the reason why the previous statement is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “This is true since”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ὃ γὰρ βλέπει τις, ἐλπίζει?

what for /is/_seeing anyone ˱he˲_/is/_hoping

Paul is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the thrust of what he is saying. 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 and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “For surely no one hopes for what he sees!”
