˱for˲_˓the˒_land ˱of˲_Sodom (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ἀνεκτότερον ἔσται γῇ Σοδόμων καί Γομόρρων ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως ἤ τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ)

Jesus refers to cities to speak about the people who live in those cities. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [for the people who lived in Sodom and Gomorrah … for the people who live in that city]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γῇ Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόρρων

˱for˲_˓the˒_land ˱of˲_Sodom (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ἀνεκτότερον ἔσται γῇ Σοδόμων καί Γομόρρων ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως ἤ τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ)

In Jesus’ culture, people knew that Sodom and Gomorrah were cities where many wicked people had lived. God punished these people harshly. You can read about what happened in [Genesis 19:1–29](../gen/19/01.md). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [for the evil land of Sodom and Gomorrah]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως

on ˓the˒_day ˱of˲_judgment

Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a day on which judgment will happen. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [on the day when God judges everyone]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κρίσεως

˱of˲_judgment

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [when people are judged]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ

¬the ˱for˲_city that

Here, that city is referring to any city that does not welcome or listen to Jesus’ disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [for any city that does not welcome you or listen to you]
