UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces further support for Jesus’ command to love enemies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces support for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You should love your enemies because” or “You should do what I am saying since”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίνα μισθὸν ἔχετε?

what reward ˱you_all˲_/are/_having

Jesus uses this question to show that people who only love others who love them will not receive any reward. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “you have no reward.” or “there is no reward for you!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν?

not also the tax_collectors the same /are/_doing

Jesus uses this question to show that even tax collectors, who were often considered to be unloving people, love people who love them. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Even the tax collectors do the same.” or “Even tax collectors do that very thing!”
