MSG ^(21-24)But in our time something new has been added. What Moses and the prophets witnessed to all those years has happened. The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus-setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we’ve compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For here introduces a reason clause. Paul is giving the reason why “there is no distinction,” as stated in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language to indicate a reason. Alternate translation: “The reason for this is that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πάντες

all

Here Paul uses the adjective all as a noun that refers to all the people who have ever existed or ever will exist. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “all people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑστεροῦνται τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ

/are_being/_fallen_short ˱of˲_the glory ¬the ˱of˲_God

Paul speaks of all people as if they were something that fails to reach its destination. He means that they lack or do not attain the glory of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “lack the glory of God” or “fail to attain the glory of God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱of˲_the glory ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here the possessive form the glory of God could refer to: (1) the glory that God shared with humans when he created them, but which they lost when the first humans sinned. Alternate translation: “the glory God once gave them” or “the glory from God” (2) glorifying God, as in the similar phrase “the glory of the imperishable God” in 1:23. Alternate translation: “of glorifying God”
