UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

The word Therefore here marks a new section of the letter. It also introduces a result clause that summarizes the blessed results of a person becoming righteous by trusting in Jesus, which Paul just discussed in 1:18–4:25. Use a natural way in your language to indicate result. Alternate translation: “Since all these things are true” or “As a result of everything that I have just told you being true”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

δικαιωθέντες & ἐκ πίστεως, εἰρήνην ἔχωμεν πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

/having_been/_justified & by faith peace ˱we˲_/may_be/_having with ¬the God through the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, because we have been justified by faith” or “we can have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, since we have been justified by faith”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δικαιωθέντες

/having_been/_justified

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” did it. Alternate translation: “because God makes us righteous” or “since God makes us right with him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐκ πίστεως

by faith

See how you translated this phrase in 4:16.

Note 5 topic: translate-textvariants

εἰρήνην ἔχωμεν

peace ˱we˲_/may_be/_having

Some ancient copies say “we have peace,” which makes sense, since 5:1–5 are a list of blessings that belong to those people who have been justified by faith. If the reading let us have peace is correct, this phrase may be indicating Paul’s desire that his fellow believers continue to experience the peace they have with God. If a translation of the Bible already exists in your area, you could consider using the reading in that translation. If there is not already a Bible translation in your area, we recommend that you follow the readings of ULT and UST.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἔχωμεν

˱we˲_/may_be/_having

Paul uses the phrase let us have peace to exhort his Christian readers to continue living peacefully with God. It is not a command. This phrase does not imply that those who have been justified by faith do not yet have peace with God. Use a form in your language that communicates an exhortation. Alternate translation: “we must continue to have”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰρήνην ἔχωμεν

peace ˱we˲_/may_be/_having

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea with a verbal form, as in the UST.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰρήνην ἔχωμεν

peace ˱we˲_/may_be/_having

Paul speaks of these people as if they could possess or own peace. He means that they can live peacefully with God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “let us live in a peaceful manner”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἔχωμεν & ἡμῶν

˱we˲_/may_be/_having & ˱of˲_us

Here and throughout this chapter, us and our inclusively refer to all those having been justified by faith in Jesus. Your language may require you to mark these forms. Alternate translation: “let us believers have … our”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

through the Lord ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ

Here, through indicates that our Lord Jesus Christ is the means by which believers have peace with God. This refers to what Jesus did for believers in order for them to have peace with God, as briefly mentioned in 4:25. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “through what our Lord Jesus Christ did for us” or “which was caused by our Lord Jesus Christ”
