OET interlinear GAL 6:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For here indicates that what follows is the reason why Paul only boasts “in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,” as stated in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “I may boast in the cross because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὔτε & περιτομή τὶ ἐστιν, οὔτε ἀκροβυστία

neither & circumcision nor & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὔτε γὰρ περιτομή τί ἐστιν οὔτε ἀκροβυστία ἀλλὰ καινὴ κτίσις)

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 is important to God, nor uncircumcision”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλὰ καινὴ κτίσις

but new creation

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 context. Alternate translation: “but a new creation is something important”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καινὴ κτίσις

new creation

Here, a new creation refers to the whole process when someone trusts in Jesus and the Holy Spirit gives that person a new life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how new creation is translated in 2 Corinthians 5:17. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit giving someone a new life”
