OET interlinear ROM 5:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μόλις Γάρ ὑπέρ δικαίου τὶς ἀποθανεῖται ὑπέρ γάρ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ τάχα τὶς καί τολμᾷ ἀποθανεῖν)

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here,For introduces an explanation, by contrast, of how surprising it is that Christ would die on behalf of ungodly sinners, as stated in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression, as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

μόλις γὰρ & τις ἀποθανεῖται & γὰρ & τάχα τις

rarely (Some words not found in SR-GNT: μόλις Γάρ ὑπέρ δικαίου τὶς ἀποθανεῖται ὑπέρ γάρ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ τάχα τὶς καί τολμᾷ ἀποθανεῖν)

Paul uses someone twice in this verse in two hypothetical situations. He does this to help his readers recognize how rare it is for someone to voluntarily die on behalf of another person. Use the natural form in your language for expressing hypothetical situations. Alternate translation: [Let us consider how rare it would be for someone to die … Let us, though, suppose that perhaps someone]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καὶ τολμᾷ ἀποθανεῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μόλις Γάρ ὑπέρ δικαίου τὶς ἀποθανεῖται ὑπέρ γάρ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ τάχα τὶς καί τολμᾷ ἀποθανεῖν)

Paul speaks of dying as if it were a dare or challenge for someone to overcome. He means that someone would be brave enough to give their life for the sake of someone else. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [might even be willing to die] or [would even be brave enough to die]
