UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

Παῦλος

Paul

In the culture of this time, letter writers would give their own names first. Your language may have a particular way of introducing the author of a letter, and if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [From Paul]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

δοῦλος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, κλητὸς ἀπόστολος

slave ˱of˲_Christ Jesus /a/_called ambassador

These two phrases give further information about Paul. He describes himself as being someone whom God has given the position and authority of being Christ’s servant and apostle. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [a person whom God has made a servant of Christ Jesus, and whom he has called to represent him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κλητὸς ἀπόστολος, ἀφωρισμένος

/a/_called ambassador /having_been/_set_apart

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: [whom Jesus called to be an apostle and set apart]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

εἰς εὐαγγέλιον Θεοῦ

for /the/_gospel ˱of˲_God

Here, for introduces a purpose clause. Paul is stating the purpose for which Jesusset him apart. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: [in order to preach the gospel of God] or [so that I could announce the good news from God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

εὐαγγέλιον Θεοῦ

/the/_gospel ˱of˲_God

Paul is using the possessive form to describe the gospel that comes from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the gospel from God]
