UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὥστε

so_then

So then indicates that what follows in this verse summarizes ideas that were previously expressed. So then here introduces the result of what Paul said in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language for indicating result. Alternate translation: “Since this is true”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ, τῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ διαταγῇ & ἑαυτοῖς κρίμα λήμψονται

˱against˲_the authority ˱against˲_the ¬the ˱of˲_God ordinance & ˱on˲_themselves judgment /will_be/_receiving

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of authority, command, and judgment, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “those who are authorized … what God has commanded … will cause themselves to be judged”

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

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “will cause God to bring judgment on them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἑαυτοῖς κρίμα λήμψονται

˱on˲_themselves judgment /will_be/_receiving

Here Paul speaks of judgment as if it were an object that one could bring and put on someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will cause God to judge them”
