UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατὰ πρεσβυτέρου κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου

against /an/_elder accusation not /be/_accepting

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of accusation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “When someone accuses an elder, do not receive it”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου, ἐκτὸς εἰ

accusation not /be/_accepting besides except

If, in your language, it would appear that Paul was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “receive an accusation only if”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ

besides except ¬not/lest on

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “unless it is based on the testimony of”

δύο ἢ τριῶν

two or three

Alternate translations: “two or more”
