UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐκ ἐδοκίμασαν, τὸν Θεὸν ἔχειν ἐν ἐπιγνώσει

not ˱they˲_approved ¬the God /to_be/_having in knowledge

Here, having God in their full awareness is an idiom that refers to thinking about God or acknowledging God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “they did not approve of thinking about God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸν Θεὸν ἔχειν ἐν ἐπιγνώσει

¬the God /to_be/_having in knowledge

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of full awareness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “being fully aware of God” or “fully acknowledging that God exists”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς εἰς

gave_over them ¬the God to

See how you translated this phrase in 1:24 and 26.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

εἰς ἀδόκιμον νοῦν

to /an/_unqualified mind

Paul is speaking of the minds of these ungodly people in general, not of one particular mind. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “to disapproved minds”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς ἀδόκιμον νοῦν

to /an/_unqualified mind

Here, mind refers to a person’s will and moral reasoning. The mind of one of these ungodly people is disapproved, which means that it has been rejected by God as worthless. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to a mind that has become worthless”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ποιεῖν

/to_be/_doing

Here, to do could refer to: (1) the result of a disapproved mind. Alternate translation: “and as a result they do” or “causing them to practice” (2) the purpose of a disapproved mind. Alternate translation: “so that they do”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰ μὴ καθήκοντα

the_‹things› not befitting

The phrase those things that are not proper refers to what Paul describes in 1:29–31. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “those improper things that follow”
