UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ

and

Here, the word and introduces something that contrasts with how these women are always learning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: “yet”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μηδέποτε εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν δυνάμενα

never to /a/_knowledge ˱of˲_/the/_truth /to/_come being_able

Here Paul speaks of the knowledge of the truth as if it were a destination at which people could arrive. He is indicating that these women cannot gain the knowledge of the truth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “never able to grasp knowledge of the truth” or “never able to gain knowledge of the truth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας

to /a/_knowledge ˱of˲_/the/_truth

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of knowledge and truth, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “to know the true teaching”
