OET interlinear GAL 5:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For here indicates that what follows is a reason why what Paul said in the previous verse is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “This is due to the fact that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν & Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

in & Christ Jesus

See how you translated this phrase in 3:26.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

περιτομή & ἀκροβυστία & πίστις & ἀγάπης

circumcision & uncircumcision & faith & love

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of circumcision, uncircumcision, faith, and love, you could express the same ideas in another way. See how you translated faith in 2:16. Alternate translation: “being circumcised … not being circumcised … trusting … loving”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει, οὔτε ἀκροβυστία

neither circumcision anything /is/_prevailing nor uncircumcision

Here, anything refers to being important to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is capable of being important to God” or “neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πίστις δι’ ἀγάπης ἐνεργουμένη

faith through love working

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous clause. Alternate translation: “faith working through love is capable of something” or “faith working through love matters”
