Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀφέντες

/having/_left

Paul speaks of these men as if they were leaving their location to go to another one. He means that they are abandoning or rejecting the way God intended for people to do sexual 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: “having abandoned” or “having rejected”

τὴν φυσικὴν χρῆσιν τῆς θηλείας

the natural usage ˱of˲_the female

Paul is using the possessive form to describe the natural use that is associated with the female. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “the natural use associated with the female”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
