uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γάρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it introduces another explanation for what Paul said in 10:10. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “In fact,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐ & ἐστιν διαστολὴ

no & ˱there˲_is distinction

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of distinction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “God does not distinguish”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, for indicates that what follows is the reason why what Paul said in the previous clause is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. You may need to start a new sentence, as in the UST. Alternate translation: “This is due to the fact that”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

Κύριος πάντων

Lord ˱of˲_all

Paul is using the possessive form to describe the Lord who rules over all. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “Lord is ruling over all”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πάντων & πάντας

˱of˲_all & all

Paul is using the adjective all as a noun in order to describe a group of people. If your language does not use adjectives in the same way, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “is of all people … all people”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πλουτῶν

being_rich

Here, being rich means to bless others generously. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “generously giving blessing”
