UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

τελείων & ἐστιν ἡ στερεὰ τροφή

˱for˲_/the/_mature & is ¬the solid food

Here the author further explains the metaphor about solid food that he introduced in 5:12. He identifies the one who eats solid food as a person who is mature. The point is that the people who fit this description are those who know much about God and about good and evil. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Make sure that your translation fits with how you translated the previous two verses. Alternate translation: [those who run are mature ones] or [complex things are for the mature ones]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

γεγυμνασμένα

/having_been/_trained

Here, the word trained is often used for how athletes practice so that their bodies become stronger and better at their sport. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable idiom or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [educated] or [developed]
