UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces a clarification of what Paul said in 4:10. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a clarification. Alternate translation: [in fact,] or [in other words,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀεὶ & ἡμεῖς, οἱ ζῶντες & παραδιδόμεθα

always & we the_‹ones› living & /are_being/_given_over

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 does the action, Paul implies that God does it. Alternate translation: [God is always handing us, being alive, over]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

ἀεὶ & ἡμεῖς, οἱ ζῶντες & παραδιδόμεθα

always & we the_‹ones› living & /are_being/_given_over

Here, the phrase being alive identifies the situation in which the rest of Paul’s statement is true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words or phrases that makes this relationship clearer. Alternate translation: [we, during the time in which we are alive, are always being handed over]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀεὶ & εἰς θάνατον παραδιδόμεθα

always & to death /are_being/_given_over

Here Paul speaks as if he and his fellow workers were objects that someone could hand over to death. He means that they are under the power of death or are experiencing things related to death, like suffering and hardship. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [are always experiencing what relates to death] or [are always under death’s power]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς θάνατον

to death

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “die.” Alternate translation: [so that we might die] or [to die]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ Ἰησοῦν

because_of Jesus

Here, the phrase for the sake of Jesus could indicate that Paul and his fellow workers are always being handed over to death: (1) to serve Jesus. Alternate translation: [in order to serve Jesus] (2) because of Jesus, particularly because they preach about him. Alternate translation: [because of Jesus] or [because we proclaim Jesus]

ἵνα καὶ ἡ ζωὴ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ φανερωθῇ ἐν τῇ θνητῇ σαρκὶ ἡμῶν

in_order_that also the life ˱of˲_the ˱of˲_Jesus /may_be/_revealed in the mortal flesh ˱of˲_us

Here Paul uses words and ideas that are very similar to what he used in the second part of 4:10. You should express the idea much as you did in that verse.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ ἡ ζωὴ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ φανερωθῇ

also the life ˱of˲_the ˱of˲_Jesus /may_be/_revealed

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ ζωὴ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ

the life ˱of˲_the ˱of˲_Jesus

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of life, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “live.” Alternate translation: [how Jesus lives] or [the fact that Jesus lives]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῇ θνητῇ σαρκὶ ἡμῶν

the mortal flesh ˱of˲_us

Here, the phrase mortal flesh refers to people who will die. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that describes people as those who will die. Alternate translation: [in us who will die] or [our mortal bodies]
