Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ, πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

neither there_is Jew nor Greek neither there_is slave nor free neither there_is male and female all for you_all one are in Christ Jesus

Here, the word for introduces the reason for why, if someone is a believer in Christ, it is as if there is no longer Jew nor Greek or slave or free or male or female. If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase, which follows the word for, gives the reason for the result that the first part of this verse describes. Alternate translation: [Because you are all one in Christ Jesus, there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

neither there_is Jew nor Greek neither there_is slave nor free neither there_is male and female all for you_all one are in Christ Jesus

Paul says that people who believe in Christ are no longer divided by racial, social, or gender distinctions but, rather, now have one common identity in Christ. Human distinctions now cease to be significant because believers are united in a new spiritual identity, which is being in Christ. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [For you who are united by your faith in Christ Jesus, it is now as if there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female] or [For you who are united by belief in Christ Jesus, it is now as if there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἕλλην

Greek

Here, the term Greek refers to non-Jewish people. It does not refer only to people from the country of Greece or to people who speak the Greek language. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Gentiles]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐλεύθερος

free

Here, the term free refers to people who are not slaves and thus are free from bondage to a master. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [free person]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces a reason. Use a natural form for introducing the reason for something that was said previously. Alternate translation: [because]

πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

all for you_all one are in Christ Jesus

Alternate translation: [because all of you are together joined to Messiah Jesus]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἷς

one

Here, Paul uses the word one to indicate that all believers share an equal position because of the new identity they have by being in Christ. (Paul explains his statement from the previous verse that all believers have put on Christ, meaning that they have a new and common identity derived from and centered on Christ). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly what one means here. Alternate translation: [alike] or [of equal standing]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

in Christ Jesus

Paul speaks of believers being in Christ Jesus as if Christ Jesus were a physical location in which someone could be. Here, in Christ refers to being spiritually united with Christ in close spiritual union with him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of this phrase plainly. Alternate translation: [in close spiritual union with Christ] or [because of your close spiritual union with Christ]
