OET interlinear ROM 6:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ & ἀποθανὼν

the_‹one› & /having/_died_off

Here Paul implies that the one having died is the same “old man” whom Paul said “was crucified” with Christ in the previous verse. Paul means that God considers any person who has “died to sin” (6:2) to be freed from living sinfully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the one who has died to sin”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

δεδικαίωται ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας

/has_been/_justified from ¬the sin

Paul continues the metaphor of sin enslaving people from the previous verse. Here Paul speaks of sin as if it were something that people need to be freed from. He means that the desire to sin that controls people would no longer do so. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “no longer has to live sinfully”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δεδικαίωται

/has_been/_justified

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” did it. Alternate translation: “God has freed”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἁμαρτίας

sin

See how you translated sin in the previous verse.
