UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

διώκετε

/be/_pursuing

Here the author speaks as if he wants the audience to run after and try to capture peace and sanctification. He speaks in this way because he wants them to act for peace and sanctification as persistently as someone who “pursues” someone or something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable metaphor or plain language. Alternate translation: [Consistently act in] or [Seek after]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰρήνην & μετὰ πάντων, καὶ τὸν ἁγιασμόν

peace & with all and ¬the holiness

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of peace and sanctify, you could express the ideas by using adjectives such as “peaceful” and “holy.” Alternate translation: [peaceful ways of living with all men, and the holy way of living]

μετὰ πάντων

with all

Here, the phrase with all men could describe: (1) whom the audience should be at peace with. Alternate translation: [in your relationships with all men] (2) who else “pursues peace.” Alternate translation: [along with all men]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντων

all

Here, the phrase all men could refer to: (1) all people, both believers and unbelievers. Alternate translation: [all humans] (2) all believers. Alternate translation: [all fellow believers]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

πάντων

all

Although the phrase all men is masculine, the author is using it to refer to all people, both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that applies to both men and women or you could refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [all people] or [all men and women]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὗ χωρὶς οὐδεὶς ὄψεται

which without no_one /will_be/_seeing

The phrases without which and no one will see use two negative words to emphasize that sanctification is required for anyone to see the Lord. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with positive words, emphasizing the importance of sanctification. Alternate translation: [which is the only way that anyone will see]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδεὶς ὄψεται τὸν Κύριον

no_one /will_be/_seeing the Lord

Here, the phrase see the Lord refers to being in the Lord’s presence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that refers to entering the Lord’s presence. Alternate translation: [no one will enter the Lord’s presence]
