UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὥστε

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

οἱ δὲ ἀνθεστηκότες

the_‹ones› and /having/_resisted

Here, it refers to that authority stated earlier in the verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [and the ones who have opposed that authority]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἑαυτοῖς κρίμα λήμψονται

˱on˲_themselves judgment /will_be/_receiving

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἑαυτοῖς κρίμα λήμψονται

˱on˲_themselves judgment /will_be/_receiving
