UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς δὲ συμφώνησις Χριστοῦ πρὸς Βελιάρ, ἢ τίς μερὶς πιστῷ μετὰ ἀπίστου

what and harmony_‹is› ˱of˲_Christ with Beliar or what portion_‹exists› ˱by˲_/a/_believer with /an/_unbeliever

Here, just as in 6:14, Paul is using the question form to deny that something could be true. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could express the idea by using strong negations. Alternate translation: “And Christ has no harmony with Beliar! Nor does a believer have a share with an unbeliever!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τίς δὲ συμφώνησις Χριστοῦ πρὸς Βελιάρ

what and harmony_‹is› ˱of˲_Christ with Beliar

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of harmony, you could express the idea by using verbs such as “agree” or “go together.” Alternate translation: “And does Christ go together with Beliar”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

Βελιάρ

Beliar

Here, the word Beliar is another name for the devil, who is also called Satan. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include a footnote or short phrase that clarifies that Beliar is another name for Satan. Alternate translation: “Beliar, that is, Satan”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τίς μερὶς πιστῷ μετὰ ἀπίστου

what what portion_‹exists› ˱by˲_/a/_believer with /an/_unbeliever

Here Paul is speaking of believers and unbelievers in general, not of one particular believer and one particular unbeliever. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with a form that refers to believers and unbelievers in general. Alternate translation: “what share does any believer have with any unbeliever” or “what share do believers have with unbelievers”
