SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–11: Good fruit/things in our lives because we believe

In this section, Paul started by saying that God has made people right with him because they believed in Jesus. From that, believers have peace with God and his grace. Believers rejoice about the future blessings as well as sufferings here on earth. Suffering causes us to endure, do what is right, and have hope for a better future.

God showed how much he loves us by sending Christ to die for us when we were still rejecting him. Jesus also saves us from God’s anger and reconciled us to God, and so we can rejoice.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Results of Justification (NRSV)

Peace with God Through Faith (ESV)

Some things we experience because we believe in Jesus

5:6a

For at just the right time, while we were still powerless,

¶ For on the proper day for it, at the time when we^(incl) were still powerless,
¶ For on the appropriate day, while we were still unable to reconcile with God,

For: Here this word introduces an explanation of how hope does not put us to shame (5:5).

It may be more natural in your language to not use a conjunction here.

at just the right time: The Greek word that the BSB translates as just the right time refers to an appropriate time for something to happen. God decided when the best time for Jesus to die for the ungodly was. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

at the right time (ESV)

at the appointed time (NJB)

while we were still powerless: Here the word still indicates that we were powerless before Jesus died for us and continued to be weak when he died for us.

powerless: Here this word refers to any kind of physical, moral, ethical, or spiritual weakness. Here are other ways to translate this word:

weak (ESV)

helpless (NJB)

morally and ethically weak

5:6b

Christ died for the ungodly.

Christ died on behalf of us, people who had rejected God.
Christ died to help us, the godless people.

Christ died for the ungodly: Here the word for indicates that Christ died to benefit the ungodly. By dying, he made a way for them to be reconciled to God. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

Christ died to help the ungodly

Christ died to ransom the ungodly

Christ died in place of the ungodlyBased on the Uma Back Translation on TW.

the ungodly: The word ungodly refers to people who reject God. Here are other ways to translate this word:

people who reject God

people who do not worship God

See how you translated this phrase in 4:5.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔτι γάρ Χριστός ὄντων ἡμῶν ἀσθενῶν ἔτι κατά καιρόν ὑπέρ ἀσεβῶν ἀπέθανεν)

For here indicates that what follows in [5:6–8](../05/06.md) explains “the love of God” in [5:5](../05/05.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

ἔτι & ὄντων ἡμῶν ἀσθενῶν

still & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔτι γάρ Χριστός ὄντων ἡμῶν ἀσθενῶν ἔτι κατά καιρόν ὑπέρ ἀσεβῶν ἀπέθανεν)

In this clause Paul is describing something that was true during the time period he is describing in the rest of the verse. You can make this clear in your translation with an appropriate connecting word or phrase. Alternate translation: [during the time we were still being weak]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔτι & ὄντων ἡμῶν ἀσθενῶν

still & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔτι γάρ Χριστός ὄντων ἡμῶν ἀσθενῶν ἔτι κατά καιρόν ὑπέρ ἀσεβῶν ἀπέθανεν)

Here, weak means that people are completely unable to make themselves righteous. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [we still being powerless to make ourselves righteous]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπὲρ ἀσεβῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔτι γάρ Χριστός ὄντων ἡμῶν ἀσθενῶν ἔτι κατά καιρόν ὑπέρ ἀσεβῶν ἀπέθανεν)

Here, ungodly ones refers to the we mentioned earlier in the verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [on behalf of us ungodly ones]
