OET interlinear GAL 5:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

τὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τήν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σύν τοῖς παθήμασιν καί ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις)

Here Paul speaks of the flesh as if it were a person that believers have crucified. He means that Christians refuse to live according to their sinful natures. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [refuse to live according to their sinful natures]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν σάρκα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τήν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σύν τοῖς παθήμασιν καί ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις)

See how you translated the same use of the flesh in [5:13](../05/13.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις

its passions (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τήν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σύν τοῖς παθήμασιν καί ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις)

These phrases specifically refer to the passions and desires of the flesh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [its passion and desires]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις

its passions (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τήν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σύν τοῖς παθήμασιν καί ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of passions, and desires, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [what it is passionate about and what it desires]
