uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ἄρα οὖν

consequently therefore

See how you translated this phrase in 5:18.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρὸς, μοιχαλὶς χρηματίσει, ἐὰν γένηται ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ

living her husband /an/_adulteress ˱he˲_/will_be/_calling_‹her› if ˱she˲_/may/_become_‹joined› ˱to˲_man another

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “if she becomes married to another husband, the first husband being alive”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρὸς

living her husband

In this clause Paul is describing something that was occurring during the same time period as what he describes in the next clause. You can make this clear in your translation with an appropriate connecting word or phrase. Alternate translation: “at the same time that the husband is alive”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τοῦ ἀνδρὸς & ὁ ἀνήρ

her husband & the husband

See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μοιχαλὶς χρηματίσει

/an/_adulteress ˱he˲_/will_be/_calling_‹her›

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the law will title her an adulteress”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου

free ˱she˲_is from the law

Here Paul speaks of the law as if it were an object or person someone could be freed from. Paul means that the law that prohibited a woman from marrying another husband did not apply if her first husband died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase “she has been released from the law” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “she is no longer required to remain married to the first husband”
