UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows in this verse explains what Paul said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “In fact,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τούτῳ

in this

Here, this way refers to the “righteousness and peace and joy” mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “in this righteous, peaceful, and joyful way”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δόκιμος τοῖς ἀνθρώποις

approved ˱by˲_the people

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: “men approve it”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοῖς ἀνθρώποις

˱by˲_the people

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “by people”
