UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ὅπως

so_that

Here, so that introduces a final goal. In 1:28–29, Paul uses “in order that” to introduce immediate goals, but here, so that is the overall goal. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express so that with a word or phrase that introduces a final or overall goal, making sure to distinguish it from the words you used in 1:28–29, if possible. Alternate translation: “so that, in the end,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μὴ & πᾶσα σὰρξ

not & all flesh

Paul uses the word flesh to refer to humans. Unlike in many other places in his letters, flesh does not indicate sinful and weak humanity. Instead, it simply refers to humans compared to their creator, God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express flesh with a word or phrase that commonly refers to people in general, especially if it includes the idea that people are created by God. Alternate translation: “no creature”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

before ¬the God

Here Paul speaks of people not boasting before God, as if they were standing in front of God. With this way of talking, Paul means that people are acting as if they could see God and God could see them. This means that they recognize that God knows what they say and do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable phrase that indicates that someone recognizes that God knows what they are doing and thinking. Alternate translation: “when they know that God sees them” or “while God looks on”
