UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπὸ παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε

from every appearance ˱of˲_evil /be/_keeping_away

Here, much as in the previous verse (5:22), Paul could be referring to: (1) the “prophecies” that he referred to in 5:20. Alternate translation: “Keep yourselves from every form of evil prophecy” (2) spiritual gifts, or how the Holy Spirit specially empowers each person. Alternate translation: “Keep yourselves from every form of spiritual gift that does what is evil” (3) anything people say and do. Alternate translation: “Keep yourselves from every form of what people say and do that is evil”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ

every appearance ˱of˲_evil

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe every form that is characterized by evil. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “every form that evil takes” or “evil in any form”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἴδους

appearance

Here, the word translated form could refer to: (1) a type or kind of something. Alternate translation: “type” (2) the way that something looks or appears. Alternate translation: “appearance”
