UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

However here indicates a strong contrast between people who have “the mindset of the flesh” referred to in the previous verse and the believers to whom Paul is writing this letter. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: “On the contrary”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐστὲ

you_all and not are

Paul uses the word yourselves to emphasize the contrast between his Christian readers and people who live in the flesh. Use a way that is natural in your language to express this emphasis. Alternate translation: “However, you are truly not”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν σαρκὶ

in flesh

See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Πνεύματι

in in Spirit

Here Paul speaks of the Holy Spirit as if he were a location that someone could be in. He could mean: (1) believers are controlled by the Holy Spirit, which is how in is used earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: “controlled by the Spirit” (2) believers are united with the Holy Spirit, which is how Paul used in in 8:1. Alternate translation: “united with the Spirit”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Πνεύματι & Πνεῦμα Θεοῦ & Πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ

Spirit & /the/_Spirit ˱of˲_God & /the/_Spirit ˱of˲_Christ

These phrases all refer to the Holy Spirit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit … the Holy Spirit of God … the Holy Spirit of Christ”

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

οὗτος

this_‹one›

Here, this one refers to the person who does not have the Spirit of Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “this person without the Spirit”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ

this_‹one› not is ˱of˲_him

Paul is using the possessive form to describe a person who does not belong to Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “this one does not belong to him”
