TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:1 slave of Christ Jesus: The word slave is used of important Old Testament leaders of God’s people, such as Moses (2 Kgs 18:12), Joshua (Josh 24:29), Elijah (2 Kgs 10:10), and David (2 Sam 7:8). The title underscores Paul’s complete subservience to Christ as Lord.
• sent out (literally set apart): Paul may be alluding to being set apart by God for his mission before he was born, as the prophet Jeremiah was (Jer 1:5). He may also be referring to God’s call at the time of his Damascus Road conversion (Acts 9:15-16; cp. Acts 13:2), to preach the Good News to Jews and especially to Gentiles.
• The Good News, or “gospel,” is a recurrent topic in the opening of the letter (Rom 1:1, 9, 15, 16). Paul takes the word from the Old Testament, where the Hebrew equivalent refers to the victory that God wins for his people (Isa 40:9; 41:27; 60:6; 61:1; Nah 1:15; see Joel 2:32).


UTNuW 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”
