UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ

therefore

The word Therefore indicates that what follows is a logical conclusion. Therefore here introduces a result clause. Paul is stating the result of people rejecting the glory of God, as described in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language to introduce a result clause. Alternate translation: “As a result” or “This is why” or “Because of this”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῶν καρδιῶν αὐτῶν

gave_over them ¬the God in the desires ˱of˲_the hearts ˱of˲_them

Paul speaks of these people as if God were physically giving them to lusts. He means that God is allowing them to have what they desire. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “God permitted them to become controlled by the lusts of their hearts”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῶν καρδιῶν αὐτῶν

the desires ˱of˲_the hearts ˱of˲_them

Paul is using the possessive form to describe lusts that come from their hearts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “the lusts that come from their hearts”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῶν καρδιῶν αὐτῶν

˱of˲_the hearts ˱of˲_them

See how you translated “heart” in 1:21.

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

εἰς ἀκαθαρσίαν

to impurity

This is a result clause. Paul is stating the result of people indulging in the lusts of their hearts. Use the natural way in your language to express result. Alternate translation (with a comma preceding): “, resulting in uncleanness”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ἀκαθαρσίαν

to impurity

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of uncleanness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to become unclean”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς ἀκαθαρσίαν

to impurity

Here Paul uses uncleanness to refer to sexual immorality as if it were something dirty. He means that these lustful people become spiritually impure as a result of doing sexually immoral acts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture or express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation, “to become sexually immoral”

Note 8 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

τοῦ ἀτιμάζεσθαι

¬which /to_be/_dishonoring

Here, to dishonor could refer to: (1) the result of God giving the people over to their lusts. Alternate translation: “which results in them dishonoring” (2) the purpose for which God gave them over to their lusts. Alternate translation: “in order to dishonor”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

τοῦ ἀτιμάζεσθαι τὰ σώματα αὐτῶν

¬which /to_be/_dishonoring the bodies ˱of˲_them

In this clause Paul uses dishonor their bodies figuratively to refer to sexually immoral acts. This is a polite way of referring to a shameful act. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different polite way of referring to this or you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to commit sexually immoral acts” or “to indulge in sexually immoral activity”
