uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

θεοστυγεῖς, ὑβριστάς, ὑπερηφάνους, ἀλαζόνας & ἀπειθεῖς

God-hating abusers proud braggers & unpersuadable

Paul is using these adjectives as nouns 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: “people who hate God, people who are insolent, people who are arrogant, people who are boastful … people who are disobedient”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

καταλάλους & ἐφευρετὰς κακῶν

slanderers & inventors ˱of˲_evil

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of slanderers and inventors, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “people who speak against others … people who invent ways to do evil things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἐφευρετὰς κακῶν

inventors ˱of˲_evil

Paul is using the possessive form to describe inventors who invent evil things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “inventing evil things”
