UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

νυνὶ δὲ

now but

Here, But now introduces what is true, in contrast to the hypothetical situations Paul offered in the last verse (12:17). Here, the word now does not refer to time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express But now with a word or phrase that introduces reality in contrast to a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “In reality, though,” or “As it really is,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

τὰ μέλη, ἓν ἕκαστον αὐτῶν ἐν

the members one each ˱of˲_them in

Here Paul interrupts his sentence to include each one of them. In Paul’s culture, this interruption emphasized each one of them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate why Paul interrupts his sentence by rearranging the phrases and expressing the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “each and every member in”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

καθὼς ἠθέλησεν

as ˱he˲_wanted

Here, just as he desired means that the God appointed the members as he decided, and not because of any other factors. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express desired with a word that refers to what God “decided” or “chose.” Alternate translation: “in the way that he chose”
